Watching Moss Grow
Posted by Roman (Thunder Bay, Canada) on 29 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.
At first it seems so ordinary but from down there, really up close, it is quite pretty, growing like crazy, trying to out-pace every other weed before it gets choke down...

Wow. This is great. Here where I am living we have quite much moss., but I have never seen the moss like that You photographed. Your photo is full of wonderfull color and it is very sharp. I like it very much.

Awesome macro, Roman. I need a shorter macro lens! For my D40, I only have two lenses - and only one has macro capabilities. But it's a 70-300mm, and I just can't get used to standing so far away for macro shots. For up-close-and-personal shots, I still prefer my point-and-shoot.
