After a mile or two of a hike that began in tall grassland and meadows we suddenly entered a stretch of trail that wound it’s way through a luxuriant forest filled with treasures of all kind. From beautiful Woodland Pinedrops to what seemed an unending variety of ground covers, the landscape was transformed. From dry to wet, from brown to green, you never know what you’ll find on the forest floor.
Unusual fungi and tiny white bells.
Life took many forms and all play a part in the ecosystem of the forest floor.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and some time to explore.

We hiked a rain forest on the coast of Washington near the Olympic Mtns. The diversity and size of plant life was amazing.

HI Eliza, The lichen and mosses are so unique and so many species it kinda spins the head. We have had a bit wetter than usual summer so many mosses are still green. It always amazes us how they survive a dry summer and are there greener than ever next spring.
