Mostly Mossy

 The weather was wonderful again. I couldn't stay inside!

Went for a walk on the North Country Trail. South of where it crosses the Pere Marquette River. Look at sun and reflections on December 30!

All the mosses were glowing in the sun. I really just haven't worked at learning the mosses.

This one seemed odd, but very cute. It's growing up around the bases of these two saplings in a helical manner. It makes them look like little Christmas trees.


This patch may have two different kinds.

And is this the same as one of the ones in the picture above, only a bright yellow green instead of darker green?

This is mostly a lichen, but it's growing on top of a patch of moss!

I did some editing and made some phone calls, but then I went for my walk.
