Peeking through the front window of my favorite of the cottages in the Historic district on Jekyll Island. Owned by the Macy family for 20 years. We couldn't get into this one this time. They seem to change which houses they allow tours to go through each time. I really like the color scheme inside this pretty home.

Happy Window Wednesday!

Sony A7RIII with FE 90mm 2.8 Macro

Yes, I did lie down on wet moss to get this photo, on the quiet and cold morning of January 1, 2019. That may or may not have something to do with the cold I came down with soon after, but I don't regret it. :)

100604-PA-34 - Moss - Moos

Inspired by the track Moss Garden by David Bowie on the Heroes album. Quite apt as our lawn is covered in moss, currently covered in icy frost crystals.

I spotted this tree covered in moss in the woods close to Coombe Hill at the start of my walk this morning.

Moss Force, a 100m (328ft) high waterfall, as seen from the top of the fall. The fells across the valley are those of Grasmoor. Although an easy hike from the road, it doesn't seem to be particularly popular, which means it is very peaceful.

The Moss-backed Tanager is typical chunky-bodied Bangsia tanager with a comparatively large-looking head, which is violet-blue, contrasting with the largely dull green body plumage, and the yellow center to the upper breast. It is a group-living bird, which is found just as frequently apart from other species as within mixed-species flocks. Another unusual behavior of the Moss-backed Tanager is the propensity for individuals to perch high on an exposed perch in a clearing or above the forest canopy. The species is distributed from west-central Colombia to northwest Ecuador, and ranges to elevations around 2100 m in wet and mossy cloud forests.

I chose the outside of the Moss Cottage for Fence Friday. Named for the Spanish Moss in the lush trees. Built in 1896 for William Struther's and later owned by the Macy family for 20 years. His neighbors on Millionaires Village were the Morgan's, Rockefeller's, Goodyear and the Vanderbilt's. Jekyll Island, GA.

Happy Fence Friday!

Eastbound coal loads descend Alleghany grade at Moss Run, VA, behind five month old CSXT 31. I had forgotten how nice the ACs looked when they were new.

We were out for a drive and ended up driving past the Moss Vale showground. We saw the show jumping event set up so we went in for a look. It was interesting to watch. I think it was actually part of the Moss Vale show.

Moss covered limbs deep in the forest seemed to be trying to tell me something.

Tortula muralis?

A year ago, today, on Flanders Moss near Stirling.

The largest lowland raised bog in Britain is home to very diverse wildlife from rare moths and spiders to frogs, adders, osprey and so much more.

This particular day was just glorious with the sunlight bringing to life the fabulous autumnal colours.

Two old rainforest tree trunks are supporting a mini-ecosystem of mosses and ferns growing on their bark. What else is there?
