The moss on the piazza in front of the house begins to turn lush and green as we begin the walk into winter. I went on a woodland walk to see if I could find any more moss to photograph, but I found much more.
I found moss on one side of the road
and on the other, wetter, side of the road.
I found moss on a rotting log,
I also saw a rivulet running cheerfully through the woods,
and old stone walls meander through the woods, marking forgotten fields.
Stones made a complicated pattern.
Lichens made patterns on the tree bark..
Sun shone through the evergreens
and turned the sky blue behind the birches. Stone, water, earth and sky.
This was my woodland walk in Heath on Wordless Wednesday. For more click here.
Beautiful images, Pat! We’ve had no snow yet here, and it’s been so cloudy and gloomy–your photos remind me of how beautiful winter can be. Seeing those stones piled up remind me of one of my favorite poems, Frost’s “Mending Wall.” Thanks for taking us along on your walk!
Rose – So good to hear from you. Yesterday was beautiful – and so is today in a misty moisty way.
A beautiful walk! And such lovely photo … thanks for taking me alone with you!
