Pine Tree Bark With Moss Ornament

Vibrant green moss grows in vertical grooves of faded pine tree bark. The macro photograph shows the alternating stripes of bark and moss as well as the texture of each. The bark is layered, scaly, with fine gradations of colour: greys, browns, and even pale green. The moss is comprised of myriad short fine hairs, as though the tree wanted some green fur highlights.
