  1. Hmmmm, wonder if some band will come along and call itself the Rolling Logs now?

  2. Whoever figures out the answer about moss on a rolling log, will next contemplate whether they can see the rock pile for the stones.

    And then contemplate whether, if a rock tumbles from a quarry when no one is there, does it make a sound?

  3. Looks like these two did! I love moss. I am always stopping to photograph it on hikes.

  4. I don't think I've ever seen moss growing on the logs in the lumber yard so there may be some truth to that saying. I do enjoy seeing moss growing in wooded areas.

  9. We live near the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula. If you visit the Hoh River rainforest area there's much interpretive information about "nurse logs," fallen mossy logs that decompose and provide nutrients for the next generation of vegetation and trees. You can see many trees that have taken root in the fallen logs, some with roots that have grown over now phantom trees. The area gets well over 100" of rain each year and the trails are so mossy it's like walking on carpeting. I like to think it's where God invented the color green.

  15. I'm always fascinated by the varieties of moss. Only thing moving on those logs are moss:-) We have had so much rain here I'm surprised I'm not covered in it.
