It’s been a tough winter just about everywhere in this country.  I’m sure winter has some more in store for us but today in northern Virginia the temperature is above freezing and it feels pretty good to be outside.  I took a walk through a local park and found that ice still has a grip on parts of the landscape but I also found signs of the next season, with nice patches of green moss.

As I stepped over a fallen tree, I noticed what appeared to be ‘fuzzy hair’ growing on the side of the trunk.  A close-up shot with a macro lens revealed this alien-world view. Freaky.
