Moss

Moss is something that most of us overlook, and yet when closely examined, it is found to be beautiful and unique. This shows the spore capsules (sporangium) of moss.

totally torrid...a miniature world of towering proportions...well done to ennoble the Lilliputian scenario..

Each one straining their little baby birdlike heats to reach full maturity. Christine what a beautiful photo of this almost in motion moss.

I don't think I've ever seen it at this magnification and it is really graceful and colorful. V.
