In one of my recent post I mentioned that I wanted to shoot some moss photos and could not find any in the area I visited. Moss is not a rarity around here but dry weather can destroy, dry out moss. The other day we got the frost and on my way to frosty leaf hunting I remembered a place where there used to be moss.
Lucky me, I was able to find some, very nice ones, but compared to how much it was last year, it was like 10%.
This is a stone wall that has moss. No matter how impossible it looks, but moss is capable of thriving even on stone. In this case I don't know what's happened, why the rest of the moss was gone. At first I thought the city cleaning service is responsible but on a second thought that is impossible as they are barely cleaning the streets, let alone clean this stone wall.
This little hairy one was on a 80 degree wall. It is always amazing to see these green creatures grow where there's no soil. How hard it could be to grow on stone, where there's no moisture, like in the soil, or on the bark of a tree.
These plants were caught by surprise, therefore were looking like frozen lace.
I wish I had a better camera to be able to capture the details. Those small snow drops would be amazing from up close.
Looks a the small drops on the spider web. I'm planning to buy a new mobile phone with a better camera, which can take better photos, but for now this has to do it.
I was looking for scenes where I could capture moss, frost and colorful leaves as well, in other words as many colors as possible in one photo. This is one of the photos I am pleased to show you. Those red leaves are looking great above the green moss.
I am lucky to live in an area where there's plenty of green and on days like the one we had the other day, here's plenty of opportunity for a photographer. Nature has plenty to offer, regardless of the season. Where there are only buildings and concrete blocks, there's not much to do.
While I was taking these photos, people passing by were looking at me, trying to figure out what I was doing. These are the people who are looking at similar photos on the internet, admiring them but can't see the places offering the same view in the real world.
