Moss Spore Pods & Water Droplets
Today begins March Moss Madness. Better get used to it. After months of winter anything green and growing is going to catch and keep my attention until something better comes along. So here are today’s moss photographs.
This moss is a lot like me in a way. I can’t wait to get out from under the snow either.
The stone wall is only beginning to emerge from under the snow. It appears the moss goes into it’s reproductive mode as soon as the snow melts from it. Here some spore capsules that caught some water droplets.
I couldn’t resist turning this photograph into my new desktop background. I think it’s one of the cooler photos I’ve taken.

If you want a different size you’ll have to ask.
After countless tries I did manage to get a focus on this droplet. The photo isn’t anything special but after so many tries I just had to post the water droplet.
How do I make my dog obey the STAY command?
By placing her head between two boulders.
POOR POOKIE

You have some unusual things “growing” on there! I haven’t tried that technique for the STAY command. I am sure it will work

Don’t you just love the world of mosses and lichens? so many new
things to see right under your nose, I see new mosses all over
the place, so many varieties!

I’m with you … moss always catches my attention this time of year. The colors shine in an otherwise grey and white world.

I agree with your assessment of the picture you liked as a background. I thought it would make a beautiful background as soon as I saw it. I still wish I could find the small things like these even a fraction as well as you do.
