Close-up woodland floor scene among moss (a bryophyte). A pale lace-like skeletonised leaf lies across a dark decaying leaf, the fine network of veins still intact while the softer leaf tissue has disappeared. Bright green feathery moss surrounds it, with a small woodland seedling and a catkin nearby.

I saw this while looking at moss today...

Thick patches of bright yellow flowers dot the top of the seaside bluffs in Montaña De Oro State Park in Los Osos, California. Further away, the edge of some other bluffs are visible, and ocean waves are hitting at the base. The sky is clear and blue.

The trees that are awaiting Spring’s touch of greenery are transparently duplicated in the morning calm of the river. Through them the hills are seen along with the blues of the morning sky.

Nature took a deep breath as the morning settled in 📷🕊️ …

"We Can't Keep Warm Alone".

This is the title of the wonderful drawing by the exceptional artist Jane Clatworphy.

The vivid rendering of her lines evokes a deep emotional sensitivity...her art style is deep and her technique astonishing..

Our beloved man can only be really warmed by our hearts...
