After looking into the soul of the tree through its “eye” in yesterday’s post, we continued on finding yet more treasures.
Winter brings out the browns in these shelf fungus!
It seemed strange, but only to us I’m sure, that the fungus outlined this piece of bark.
The brown Redbud pods hung ever so brightly in the sunlight.
The capsules of a moss!
Entwined!
Bumps on a Red Oak’s root.
Moss was collected.
Looking closer, we admired the silvery leaves!
Another moss and liverwort, this time on a fallen Red Cedar. All the stuff we collect, will get deposited in a herbaria. Mosses go to Texas A&M’s herbarium.
Did you miss getting a kiss under the mistletoe? You can use this one if you like 😉
Your photos make the plainest thing beautiful. Things i might never notice. Humming giraffes is so cool. Love tarantulas.
Thank you!
Maybe you will find a great purple hairstreak cat someday on the mistletoe!!
I can hope. However, most mistletoe are awfully high in the trees. This one happened to be low.
