Eastern hemlocks the most common conifers around our cottage, and can grow very large. In contrast, their cones are remarkable diminutive, on scale with the mosses that often grow beneath them.
My partner and I trekked and scrambled to the top of a forested crag behind the cottage. I've gone there a few times before but it's becoming a bit athletic for us. I was rewarded with the chance to photograph mosses, lichens, and ferns growing under trees where human feed seldom tread.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
