I plan on relocating a few at a time to where they need to be in my yard. And the "steppables" are great. <br />What fun I had with you today, I'm so glad we're friends!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618636316183469027.post-3689076221660068432010-01-19T16:46:44.916-06:002010-01-19T16:46:44.916-06:00Yep, love mosses, lichens, why would people try to...Yep, love mosses, lichens, why would people try to get rid of them?

An amateur but lover of nature, I just hope to get lucky once in awhile.

This is a world of its own. Your macros look pretty good. Must take lots of practice.

It is very nice- however it doesn't tolerate foot traffic very well. Grass doesn't grow well because of all of the trees- but the moss seems to thrive. I like it because we haven't had to mow the front yard since we moved here. I just use a weedeater to knock down the few weeds that spring up. :) Spring is creeping closer.... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657235685995551851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618636316183469027.post-81206385360865597682010-01-19T10:24:39.244-06:002010-01-19T10:24:39.244-06:00PS I need to stop by again and spend a little more...PS I need to stop by again and spend a little more time here.

I love my macro lens and I know you will too;-) I just got your note about my blog link. I had taken it off-line from Nov to early January but am back on now, so it wasn't a problem with your link. I just noticed I wasn't 'following' your blog...how did that happen? I'm back on again...hope you are well;-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618636316183469027.post-84444993748295513802010-01-19T08:07:28.674-06:002010-01-19T08:07:28.674-06:00I couldn't agree with you more, Jodi.

Another blogger is developing a moss garden in her yard, which delights me. Meanwhile, I get questions from people on how to get the moss out of their lawns, to which I always reply "why would you want to?" People have an odd idea of perfection. A moss is perfection in its simple complexities. A monoculture, chemicalfed lawn of grass-not so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.com
