welcome to my exploring photo zone 
hike one. march twenty third
i am a fan of this moss. awesome. the large evergreen trees help shade the ground so there is a lot of moss and little brush. there are some sections where a few deciduous trees have grown in the middle of the forest are, and from a distance the ground suddenly is a light brown from all of the fallen leaves. there is a weird distinctive split of deciduous and nondeciduous which is really interesting.
one of my favorite photos. earlier in the day i came across paths that seemed to have a darker color on the ground and wasn't really sure why (it almost looked like a path but this wasn't the place where they would be made) anyways down the "hill" i realized that it was the pattern water took. in this photo you can see the streams converge into a little triangle shape in the middle of the photo before continuing down. i took another photo where it widened into what looked like a very small dry stream complete with what probasbly would have been a waterfall-esque ledge but didn't put it here. maybe there is a lot i miss by only going out in weather i like.
