More staghorns
There were lots of fallen branches and ferns down off of their branches.
Here are the trees they fall from.

Growing in spite of challenges
This tree is in Fish Park in Poulsbo. I was down there for an appointment last week and had some extra time, so walked through part of the park.
Did this tree get cut early, leaving the base? Or blown down by a wind storm or hit by lightning? It is growing anyhow and is a wonderful home for moss and lichens in the winter. Quite beautiful.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: off-kilter.

Moss season

Living together
Lichen are a lifeform formed from algae and fungi, which is amazing. Apparently they join forces when they can’t survive on their own and form a different creature. And it’s not just one kind of algae or one kind of fungi, but lots of them! I am reading Entangled Life: How fungi make our worlds, change our minds and shape our futures, by Merlin Sheldrake. It’s really quite amazing. I love science, it opens up the world!
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: lichen.

Ferns and mosses
The ferns and mosses are in a ferocious donnybrook to see who will take over the dead downed log.

Where’s the moss?
Under the snow
fast asleep
the moss waits
despite the deep
