the clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness
John Muir
The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest
but covered with mosses and lichens
and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste;
the knowledge of the man of science is like timber
collected in yards for public works,
which still supports a green sprout here and there,
but even this is liable to dry rot.
I wish i could be in the place you took the pictures, so relaxing, instantly stress less :-)

I want to be there too. You wouldn't believe how calm you become quickly when you walk through these trails. It must be the oxygen from all things green and the sounds of many fast running waters throughout.

That is some lush moss! I recall you had iced over tree braches last time. Was this taken before winter set in?

Different locations. I live in Ontario and the mossy forest is in BC. I don't think I've seen ice on those trees.

Very pretty photos! I really like the little stream. That would be a great place for a picnic. Well, at least it would be a good place in the summer. It's probably a little too chilly at the moment!

So true....way too cold. Fortunately it never freezes there, just rains most of the time. Snows, but not cold enough to freeze. There is a small bench close by and it's a fav place of mine to go to when I visit. The water is pretty loud for such a small stream and it's calming.

These were taken in British Columbia - I forget what the trail name is...I think it's Jack Trail but could be mistaken. Squamish is where I was - rainforest part of the Pacific Coast of Canada.
Thanks @gillianpearce. :)

Ah, I love moss and lichen! They have a glowing quality to them. I once took a photo of a moss covered tree at dusk and didn't expect too much of it, until I imported it in my photo editor and saw it was much more interesting and brighter than expected. Almost with an inner glow from the moss... I see that same in your first and last photo :)

I know !! ..... there is something dreamy or something...can't think of the word. There is a brightness to the moss -it looks unreal in a way. But that is what it looks like even in person as you've experienced. I love the different colors of the lichen. There are so many combinations.

I've been searching through my photo archive but can't find the photo I was thinking of - but I found a few others that I had forgotten about. I noticed you posted your images in response to a photo contest, so I might enter tomorrow as well :)

Yes. Do enter. It's actually a fun contest. Lots of people you can connect with right on @kus-knee 's post. If you click on the link I made - last line in green it will take you to the rules. Basically you make a post and then post your photo and the link to your post on his post. Too many post words. :)
Can't wait to see what you come up with ....

Thank you - have you ever been to British Columbia? The forests really look like this....when my son's little two year old gets cranky he takes him here and it calms him down....way better than electronics or tv!!

I studied at UBC for 2 years. Love BC. Didn't get a chance to explore much while I was there though since I was a poor international student but I do remember the beautiful Grouse Mountain and Whistler!

Oh okay then. Squamish is where I go and it's halfway to Whistler on the Sea to Sky. Maybe one day you'll get to visit again. Whistler Village is a beautiful place to visit also. But expensive !!!

Thank you my dear. Sorry I'm not entering the shadow thing. I've been too busy to set anything up. I'll try to plug in sometime or other. It's a great concept. And you've gotten a lot of fab entries. My hubby posted a photo from pexels that would have been great to try and reproduce for your hands shadow.
