Curtains of moss
This is in Gabriola’s Elder Cedar Nature Reserve, which I suspect is the oldest-growth forest we have on Gabriola. Moss is everywhere, festooned in generous and delightful excess.

There’s a trail I walk on to get to the ferry and I have stopped on occasion to admire how lovely this natural ‘material’ drapes itself across the branches, especially nice with dew on them. Although not so nice when one has forgotten her flashlight coming home in the dark, misses the turn in the trail only to get this stuff smack in the face! You would think after a few times this would become a quiet affair, but no the woods must be rudely awakened by one commuter’s non-existent sense of direction and verbal expression of it!!!!
Haha, have a fantabulous weekend :)

Ha! Sarah, would you like a very small flashlight? I have a tiny one that I keep in my jacket (tied to the pocket string, inside the pocket) for those times when I forget my ‘real’ flashlight. It’s saved me from walking into stuff lots of times! I have an extra one. Let me know if you’d like it.
