A top-down macro photograph captures a vibrant forest floor carpeted in star-shaped green moss and scattered pine needles. A weathered, dark brown pine cone rests near the center, partially covered by pale, mint-green lichen. Small patches of reddish-brown moss and a single tiny green seedling add further detail to this intricate natural mosaic.

Roots hang free, ferns fall, and moss grows; the hillside erodes, yet the tree remains.

It looks to like Apple has released the security update for #iOS and #ipados 18, but made it available only for the devices that cannot be updated to iOS 26. If you’re on a more modern device, but chose to stay away from iOS/iPadOS 26 because you want to avoid #liquidglass, you’re out of luck […]

Dung moss, Tetraplodon mnoides. As the common name suggests, it often grows on animal dung, but can also grow on bones, antlers and other substrates. Always an eye catcher for its striking colours.

Photo of a tuft of moss that includes hundreds of spear-like sporophytes. The colours of this moss are striking and include green, red and purple.

Acalypta parvula, a 2mm lacebug commonly found in moss. This one seen on the wildlife group's Wednesday jaunt to north-west Shropshire last week.

Rather cold, wet bike ride today, brightened by finding Scarlet Elf Cup amid the moss.
3 pink cup-shaped fungi. Two of them are showing bright scarlet colour inside the cup. They are set on a bed of green moss.

I finally have another photo for #BirdOfTheDay.
A grey heron taking a time-out on a canal in Amsterdam.
#Urban #Photography #EastCoastKin
In the foreground, a rusty blue boat is moored on a canal in Amsterdam. Directly behind the boat is the canal wall. Some bricks can be seen under the moss, which coats the wall. On the walkway above, many bikes are leaning against two of the brown bollards. There is a wooden bench to the left, behind the bikes and there are flower pots on each side of the bench. There are white flowers on the left side and yellow daffodils and white hyacinths on the right side. One of the bikes has a black plastic container strapped to it and directly behind that is a black door with a concrete step leading up to it.
