spring moss

A dense growth of moss carpets a stony outcrop in my back yard.

I was out with my macro lens and noticed that pointing it into the sun produced some quite massive flare. Instead of trying to eliminate it, I decided to play with it and incorporate it into my photos.

Another macro photo of moss in the morning sun.

I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with my camera at the beach later this week.

I stayed close to home this weekend, limiting my photography range to my own back yard. New life is emerging all around: trees and shrubs are bursting with new leaves, daffodils are blooming, and mosses and lichens are sending out a profusion of tiny tendrils. Pictured here is a lush growth of tender moss sprouts basking in the morning sun.
