Peak Moss

[AlanLichty]

As winter loses its grip on the NW coastal rainforests the moss is likely at its peak for the year. During the winter the moss takes over since it thrives in the winter rains and has little competition for what sunlight comes along. As the deciduous plants put out their leaves the moss will lose their direct light and begin to go dormant for the summer. This is a scene of the trail along Sweet Creek from yesterday.

As spring approaches the endless moss in the forests will lose it's winter sunlight as leaves...

C&C always welcome.

I love those mossy forests. Good take on this one and good explanation of the moss cycle.

Sweet shot of a typical mossy trail in the NW.

This is a nice one, I hadn't given too much thought to the moss, so thanks for the little education.
