Moss and lichen special


Earlier this week, Gail and I went for a walk along the banks of the River Feugh near Finzean, about thirty miles inland from Aberdeen.


Did I ever mention that we have a damp climate here in Scotland...?

Happy Nature Friday friends. Once again thank you to our friends Jakey, Arty, Rosy and Sunny for hosting this blog hop. We love it!

  4. Dampness does help the moss grow. Love the bridge covered in moss, it looks really neat. Happy Friday!

  10. Hi friend! Ojo here! That looks like a fantastic place to sniff! Damp forests hold the best smells, don't you think?

  11. We know a lot of people don't like moss, but it sure looks pretty there. We bet you found lots of good places to explore and sniff out.

  12. I love your landscape so very much. The deep reds and deep greens, and all of those incredible mosses and lichens. The scenes are even more beautiful because you are in them, Bertie!

    I love the work of a photographer named Simon Baxter who photographs scenes like yours. You might like his work.
