      Periscope in a sea of moss

      #nature #naturephotography #moss #mosstodon #green #sporophyte

      A close up photograph of a single tall sporophyte of a haircap moss. The sporophyte has a long thin reddish stalk, ending at the top with a horizontal spore pod, roughly cylindrical in shape, making the hole thing kind of resembling a periscope, sticking up in a sea of green that is the surrounding moss.


Along the bottom edge, bright green haircap moss is growing, the shallow depth of field giving it almost a dreamlike appearance.

The rest of the frame is a intense green blur, darker along the edges.

          Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this 21s video of a beautiful waterfall that I passed on my hike two days ago in the White Mountains, NH. Sound on and wait for it! (Lizzie— this is especially for you!)

The video begins showing the top section of the waterfall, then slowly zooms out to show both the top and bottom sections of the cascading waterfalls. Green forest surrounds the falls. This is Crystal Cascade as viewed from Tuckerman Ravine Trail, White Mountains, NH.

                Good day!

                I think of this as, “Approaching The Shire.”

                It really looked like this thanks to the right lighting, moisture seepage, the haze, and the heat drying out the ground farther down.

                We’re transitioning to arid summer, and this is the result.

                Be everwell.

                The image looks down a grassy slope from the shade of trees. Dark grass gives way to bright green to dull green to a mix of green and gold to simply gold. At that point, the land rolls and there’s pine forest, a low, rocky mound in the background. Beyond the mound is a hazy valley and the hint of mountains. The sky is a pale blue and white.

                  Had a great day of hiking in the White Mountains, NH yesterday! Climbed up a steep ravine (upper left), then hiked along the ridge to a high point (jagged peaks in upper right) before looping back down. Winds (and freezing wind chill) were as advertised— clocked at average of 45 mph (72 km/h) at closest summit. Wore lots of layers and full wind suit and was just fine. More pics to come!

                        A Great Spangled Fritillary.

                        I have a long history of trying to take a butterfly’s picture at the moment it takes off.

                        This one did the same.

                        What was different was that it kept landing just ahead. So, I chased it down the trail.

                        Be everwell.

Here is a view from my hike in May after a long scramble up a steep slab of rock in a ravine. The weather is predicted to clear later this week, allowing me to go up the other side of the ridge. Same mountain, different ravine, new fun. Can't wait!

This is Ammonoosuc Trail as I am about to get above the treeline.  I took this photo on May 22, 2026 during my hike in the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.
