Day 31 – Resurrection engine
Macro / Winter / 1 Comment / 31/01/2018

“Moss grows where nothing else can grow. It grows on bricks. It grows on tree bark and roofing slate. It grows in the Arctic Circle and in the balmiest tropics; it also grows on the fur of sloths, on the backs of snails, on decaying human bones. … It is a resurrection engine. A single clump of mosses can lie dormant and dry for forty years at a stretch, and then vault back again into life with a mere soaking of water.” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

And this moss was growing on the top of a rotten fence post.
