This close-up of a tree trunk captures the quiet resilience of winter. The moss remains vivid and green, its dense tufts clinging to the bark like miniature forests defying the cold. The lichen—pale yellow and white—spreads in brittle, crusty patches, its muted tones echoing the season’s hush. The background, softly blurred, reveals bare branches against a pale sky, suggesting a crisp, still day. There’s a sense of dormancy and endurance here, as if the tree and its companions are holding steady through the chill, waiting for the warmth to return.

It’s my birthday today and I got to do what love doing best. A Moss Safari. This time with T-level students at Plumpton College. Lots of tardigrades!
