It’s been a very wet winter and I noticed an abundance of moss on the trees and rocks near the house.

These mosses are down by the spring.

I found a new book in the library – The magical world of Moss Gardening. I’m having a difficult time identifying the type of moss. I guess I need to bring the book with me on my walk. My photos are not detailed enough.

So I will just enjoy them unnamed.

I’m listening to On Being on public radio. Krista Tippett is interviewing Robin Wall Kimmerer – a bryologist – who described mosses as “the coral reefs of the forests.”

Frida followed me down to the spring.

I always feel better after taking a walk outside.
