Tree mosses and fungi are a common sight in nature and in the yard. Mosses are mostly harmless, relying on the tree solely for a place to anchor. They rarely harm the tree and are generally considered pleasing to the eye.
Most tree mosses are completely harmless. They are epiphytic plants, which means that they grow on trees but are not parasites. They rely on photosynthesis for food like other green plants and generally do little harm to the tree. Mosses have a high moisture-retention ability, which allows them to withstand periods of drought without dying and to rejuvenate and resume growth after a rain.
The myth that moss only grows on the north side of a tree comes from the fact that they tend to grow in places shaded from direct sun and the north side of a tree tends to get less sun than other parts; in reality, mosses can grow anywhere.
Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California. Declared a U.S. National Park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act (Public Law 103-433), it had previously been a U.S. National Monument since 1936. It is named for the Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) forests native to the park. It covers a land area of 789,745 acres (319,598 ha). A large part of the park is designated to wilderness area—some 429,690 acres (173,890 ha). Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border, the park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert. The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.
The higher, drier, and slightly cooler Mojave Desert is the special habitat of Yucca brevifolia, the Joshua tree for which the park is named. It occurs in patterns from dense forests to distantly spaced specimens. In addition to Joshua tree forests, the western part of the park includes some of the most interesting geologic displays found in California's deserts. The dominant geologic features of this landscape are hills of bare rock, usually broken up into loose boulders. These hills are popular amongst rock climbing and scrambling enthusiasts. The flatland between these hills is sparsely forested with Joshua trees. Together with the boulder piles and Skull Rock, the trees make the landscape otherworldly.

Shot on Tuesday morning which had thick fog, the trees were getting lighter & lighter the further away they got, the hedge is really deep so I was unable to get a low angle, but I like the shades of trees & lines on field.
Have a great Friday & wonderful weekend
Part of the park photos. I broke all the rules of "no pets" and "stay on the paths".
I put Mordechai on a fallen tree and was suprised that he didn't fall off! He actually walked across pretty quickly (which was very difficult to take a stationary photo!) to another tree. He was enjoying himself outside.
Although he's a bit premature for matching the snowy surrounding...

Agros Village is located in the district of Limassol, and was built at an altitude of 1100 metres. The shape of the Village is very unique, similar to an amphitheater.
Its population is approximately 800 people and is one of the most interesting villages in Cyprus. All historical and cultural sites are kept in their natural environment with the village maintaining the customs and its traditional character. The village locals are characterized as hard working and passionate about their village and surroundings. The village's modern highways make it a connection point between the cities of Nicosia and Limassol and the mountain region of Troodos.

A series of photos of Tree Swallows from Colony Farm Park in Coquitlam. At the Community Garden they have set up houses for them and they seem to take advantage of the nesting facilities.

Close to my heart.
I quote:
"On the high sandy beach-side,
we threw missiles of coconut leaves.
You managed a few. Barely!
Sweet was your denial of it,
Sensuous was how you ridiculed yourself
You were lovely with every gesture."
This tree was the other side.

“Two Trees
A portion of your soul has been
entwined with mine
A gentle kind of togetherness, while
separately we stand.
As two trees deeply rooted in
separate plots of ground,
While their topmost branches
come together,
Forming a miracle of lace
against the heavens.”
― Janet Mills, The Power of a Woman
