Mossy Trees

Mossy Trees, originally uploaded by Papa Mikey.

Some tall trees along the Foresthill Road with lots of moss and lichen.

This photo was taken up on the Foresthill Road, south/southeast of Auburn,
California. We had been driving for quite awhile on this rode and passed by
some forests that had recently burned during one of our many California
forest fires. This photo was taken in a grove of untouched timber. I had
always heard that moss and lichen only grow on the north face of trees, but
I guess that is not totally true, since this picture was taken of the south
side of the trees looking north. I believe these are Douglas Firs but I may
be wrong. You might know better than I.
