Moss Collecting

The dogs and I went for another nice walk at Hiawatha Park today.  The weather was gorgeous; sunny and cool.  I picked a LOT of moss, and this time I found some really cool mosses and lichens.  I even found some with elf cups in them.  We had a big wind storm a few weeks ago, and some trees were down, so I was able to get some branches with moss and different kinds of lichen too.  I bought more jars, and big tupperware containers to store the moss.

I'd be in great shape if I picked moss every day, lol.  I bent over so much it was like walking and doing toe touches at the same time.  Man, is my back sore now.

We came out of the bush just before sunset.  As I drove home, the sun started to set.  It was so beautiful that I walked the dogs again, at the Marina, just to enjoy the light.   I love the light just as the sun starts to go down; it seems golden.  Then the sky turned orange and pink.  I wish I would have brought my camera.  I'll post a picture I took a few days ago, of the Marina at sunset.
