Green is the main color in the Pacific Northwest. With rainfall running from 20 inches a year to over 53 inches - and a record in 1931 of 183 inches in some areas, we have a lot of moss. It softens and beautifies objects. It adds character and it keeps a large part of Western Washings a lovely shade of green in the winter (along with the evergreen trees). Washington is, afterall, The Evergreen State.
There is moss on the trees.

Are these trees with moss going for a walk? Or is this an elephant?

JoAnn,
ReplyDeleteI love your Moss photos for Green, dear one!!!
Living through two years of drought, we have seen masses of brown!
How refreshing to view all of the moss!!!
Thank you for this post!
Fondly,
Pat
Moss everywhere, thanks for sharing all the interesting places it grows. I've often looked for faces and animals in the clouds but see you do that with the moss out west.
ReplyDeleteYour moss photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, moss is so pretty out in the woods. Love the photo of the building disappearing under moss and blackberries. It doesn't take long for those plants to take over, does it? Love these photos.
ReplyDeleteMoss can make a lovely carpet. I have no qualms about allowing it to take over where it wishes to in the yard...the very shaded spot...at least it's green. I did see the crow finally...for me, it was a rabbit...the beak was the rabbit's ears. Many beautiful photos here...
ReplyDeleteYour photos could have been taken in my back yard. The green of the moss in winter is one if the lovely things about living in our part of the world! It's the colour of winter.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely mossy photos! My favorite is the old cabin.
ReplyDeleteTruly SO green! Close to the ocean as is Ireland! Happy St. Patrick's Day this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've just come from seeing more green over in your Pieceful Afternoon blog!
The green lonestar quilt!
Your whole world is overrun with green!!! How wonderful is that, now? You've shared some beautiful views!
