ABC Wednesday: M is for Moss

Mossy mountains make me merry.

Moving across mossy mountain rocks may be mired in mishaps if your footing isn't steady.



Moss on the sides of the mountain trails are easier to maneuver through without mistakes.



Moss on steep rocks heading up the mountains may be messy if you miss making your step carefully.



Mountain moss may seem easier to make your way on with flat areas but in combination with mixed roots and wet ground may be tricky.



By the way, the moss in these photographs is of a variety of kinds but I call it mountain moss because all of the shots were taken in the mountains. The third and last shot were taken in the southern Virginia mountains and the rest were taken in the northern North Carolina mountains.
