Spring’s varied habitats…

Two very different habitats though inches away in location. In the first image, the forest floor still has some un-melted snow while the top side of a decaying log resting on the same floor hosts a warmer habitat’s greening moss. The second image shows more green moss atop two logs resting in a typical vernal pool. Vernal pools are temporary springtime micro-habitats created when the still frozen ground has not yet absorbed the melted snows of winter.

  1. I must check with you here, which isn’t one thing I normally do! I enjoy reading a post that can make individuals think. Adoitidnally, thanks for allowing me to comment!

  2. a mi Lucía me irrita más que Ma. Auxiliadora.Y no pasa por lo agraciadas o no. Pasa por una especie de “olvido” de si misma, que raya con el maltrato a sí misma.No hay razón ideológica que justifique el mal aspecto o el descuido de uno mismo … si lo que es para adentro es para afuera también significa descuido de los demás.Y no necesita usar armani ni dolce&gabana, no.No me gusta nuestra primera dama
