An Autumn walk in the woods

It was nice and cool yesterday, so Cricket and I took a long walk on the west side of our property.  I started out thinking I would take some pictures of Fall colors.  I found some really interesting patches of moss and lichens together, and these really interested me.

 I love the soft, feathery texture of this moss.
