Description
On brown tree roots growing downward in a Pacific Northwest forest, green Spanish moss dangles like tangled hair, creating an interesting artistic pattern of pendent tufts found only in nature. Vertical (portrait orientation) in mostly browns and greens, with a touch of blue in the background.
Encountered on a trail in Olympic National Park, Washington, U.S.A. The trail is adjacent to Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula, west of Port Angeles. The 1.5-mile path takes one through a beautiful but spooky forest, where Spanish moss hangs from the trees and nearly everything, including dangling roots and logs, seems to be covered with moss or lichens. Shot in September 2012.

This is a great photo! Good job! It would also be perfect for the “Moss, Algae, Lichen, Liverworts and Hornworts” group, for which I am the Administrator, as well as for the “Creatures And Oddities of The Enchanted Woods And Forbidden Forest” group. If you haven’t already done so, I would encourage you to join that Moss and Algae group, and submit this photo for consideration on their Home Page of “Featured Photos “. Here is the link to the group: https://fineartamerica.com/groups/moss-algae-lichen-liverworts-and-hornworts-.html

Ella, I really appreciate what you said. I don't know where the blue jewels came from, for I don't recall being able to see any sky. Thank you for commenting!
