Similarly ripply

A small green plant and algae-covered rocks under shallow water. The bright wavy lines of the caustics are bright green because of the algae.

The same view, just a few seconds later, when a wind created some ripples. You can see their distortions at the surface of the water at the upper left of the photo, and at the lower right, the caustics have changed to a series of parallel lines

Some landscapes

A forest scene. It's noon but we're in the north close to solstice, and the sun is low in the sky, casting long tree shadows towards us. The ground is partly brown, with lovely patches of bright green moss.

A gray rocky shore in the bottom third of the photo, deep blue lake in the middle third, and blue sky with a few clouds at the horizon in the top third. We're looking East across lake Champlain, standing in New York, looking at Vermont on the far shore.

The mastodon trifecta of moss, ferns, and mushrooms. Separately and all together.
#MastodonTrifecta #mosstodon #ferniverse #mushtodon

Bright green luxuriant moss, with little sporophytes, lit by the sun, with some brown tree leaves behind.

Beautiful green ferns and some fallen oak leaves on the forest floor, lit by the sun from behind.

A cluster of beige puffball mushrooms growing on a moss-covered tree trunk.

Looking down at a shelf mushroom growing out the side of a horizontal tree trunk. Below it, out of focus, are deep green ferns to the left, and a moss-covered log to the right.

A feather on the lake shore

A gray bird feather sits concave side up on a rocky shore, under a blue sky with bright sun. The photo is taken from ground level, and we see a tiny strip of lake on the horizon, a different blue than the sky.
