Moss as green
as green can be.
Dancing across the forest floor.
Moving along.
Watch where you stand
What seems to be
Pulled up socks on giant’s feet.
Quiet as can be.
Don’t be seen
Shh, let him be.
Joining in with Jude’s photography challenge via Life in Colour – March is all about green.

Giant’s feet in pulled up socks… I love this! What fabulous photos and what a wonderful imagination you have. I adore moss and you have showcased it beautifully, especially that second dark and moody shot with just a glimpse of light.

Thanks Jude and no doubt why I enjoyed being a preschool teacher 🙂 Moss is a good sign of clean air, so they say. There were quite a few of those trees in Hesdin forest [Northern France].

It must be clean here then as I have a lot of moss!

Maybe it’s more likely lichens than moss? I remember tramping and someone mentioned that the air quality was good in that spot as the lichen was very healthy and abundant. That comment has stuck in mind for some reason.

Yes, lichens grow where it is clean air and we have an awful lot of those too! No motorways in Cornwall and not a lot of industry either.

Jo, once I had taken a few photos, we didn’t stick around long enough to find out as we had to large dogs getting rather impatient with me. Maybe they knew? 😉

It was a new adventure dog walking through Hesdin Forest in France and we were intrigued with the moss growing on quite a few trees. Even had snow on the ground!
