Moss and Autumn Leaves - Forest Floor Nature Photography

Sale price$45.00
Material:
Size:

A patch of bright green moss anchors a scatter of yellow autumn leaves on the forest floor. Moss is among the oldest groups of land plants on Earth, with no roots and no flowers — it draws water directly through its leaves and thrives in the damp shade of the understory, holding its color long after the canopy above has turned and dropped. The fallen leaves will break down over the coming year, returning their nutrients to the soil the moss sits on. The photograph works close and looks straight down, finding a composition in the litter most walkers step over — the forest at its smallest scale.
