The tree has a pretty green skirt, eh?
Mary MacADNski: I love that. I will never look at this photo the same way again.

Hi Mary.
It appears you have documentd a disturbing incidence of plant apartheid... the moss and the lichen are being separated by some strange law.
This is a very well taken and presented piece of evidence.
Mary MacADNski: I try my best, Ray.
j'aime beaucoup les arbres et celui-ci est très beau dans son costume vert
Mary MacADNski: Mon endroit préféré dans le monde est profond dans les bois et c'est un exemple de lui est beauté.

Green skirt grin

Apartheid? The moss seems to grow over the lichen.

I guess the moss dies each year in the cold of winter and start afresh in the new year.
Mary MacADNski: I would say it is a dying tree. The nutrients it excretes during it's demise feeds the lichens and mosses. I love it in the woods.

What is the meaning of 'Mossy' Mary, sorry ask this.. wink
Mary MacADNski: The green at the base of the tree is moss so the tree (and scene) is mossy or full of moss. Never be sorry for asking a question, Dudee. Thar's how we learn things and we have an expression that we must learn something new every day.
Hi Mary, Love the textures and colours of this. Great shot.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Gale. The woods are wonderful for textures and will soon be full of brilliant colour.
Oh! Mary! Has hecho una fotografía que nos adentra en el Otoño que se acerca...Muy linda!

Oh! Mary! You have made a photography that enters to us in the Autumn that approaches... Very pretty!

wink
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, J.A. This moss is year round on the tree and doesn't change under the snow. This photo was taken 18 August.

Gracias, J.A. Este musgo es año redondo en el árbol y no cambia debajo de la nieve. Esta foto fue tomada el 18 de agosto.

Very nice - nature doing its thing and beautiful with it.
Mary MacADNski: Nature is certainly wonderful and beautiful.
As a green shoe smile smile
Mary MacADNski: A green dress and now a green shoe. The woods are certainly dressed up.
