photoblog image A Little World

A Little World

This has been my screen saver for a few days and I love that mossy green.  It's just outside my back door at the edge of my stone steps and garden. 

There are a couple of calendula plants in the right-background and seeds in the mid-foreground.  They look like shuttlecocks for badminton.
There are weeds too, of course.  You couldn't have a garden without weeds.

We check out all kinds of gardens on An Island Walk.

I sometimes sound like a broken record, but it's the simplicity, at times, of nature that so excites and delights my eyes.

Moss and weeds, a plague to some, a visual delight to me, showing the cycle of life, the battle for survival and the dominance of Mother nature who will surely prevail long after we dumb apes have destroyed ourselves.

I can see why this is a chosen screen saver, utterly beautiful and for me, indicative of the cycle of life smile
Mary MacADNski: The simplicity of nature IS the basis of beauty, FLOOG. I marvel at it every day.
I like mosses too. I grow weeds in my garden and moss in my lawn and have slugs and snails too. Lots of birds and the odd squirrel.
Mary MacADNski: Sounds like my garden too.

Miro-world...should be a fertile place for macro images.

Love the shot, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: My thoughts too, Ray.

A lovely combination of colours, Mary. Oddly, even though I've got 1000s of my own photos, I still use the standard out-of-the-box screensavers!
Mary MacADNski: I began using my own photos just last week after my reformat. I lost the program that usually scrolled photos that I chose but that were not mine.
A micro world Mary. I like the colours combination here!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard. It's a delightful little world.

Love the texture and colour of moss - it's like a little miniature world in there. Nothing wrong with a few weeds either - there's nothing worse than a garden that is regimented to within an inch of its life!

Lovely nature shot Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie.
Glorious detail, Mary. I can see why you kept this as a screen saver. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: I love that little world. It is going to be covered in white by morning.
I like very much this flashing green !
Mary MacADNski: It got covered in several inches of white snow overnight.
