Interstitial 125: Spring Weeds
Cute, but invasive weeds; thankfully they are easy to pluck from the earth.
Interstitial 123: Trumpet Lichen
I think these are trumpet lichen (Cladonia Fimbriata). I’ve been trying to get a clear shot of them since I discovered them in early March. Today, I tried out a mini tripod with flexible legs and it certainly helps get a clear shot from an otherwise awkward/impossible position.
Interstitial 122: Manual Moss
It is challenging to get a clear shot of these tiny sporophytes with auto focus, which is what I primarily use. Manual focus worked like magic! I think it’s time to start using it more.
Interstitial 120: Periwinkle
This ground cover in our backyard is popping purple everywhere!
Interstitial 118: Mossy Step
I think what I love most about taking photos of moss are the surprising details I can’t see through the lens or even with my own eyes.
Interstitial 113-116: Bunny, Sweet, Tiny, Rainy
I’ve posted daily on tookapic and instagram, but not here; it takes a little more time to post on WordPress. I was busy with a special guest, my Mom. She arrived Thursday and left Saturday morning. We ate at IKEA, walked in a nature park, and saw Agnes Obel. My Mom turns 70 this year. The importance of spending time with her has increased greatly.

Interstitial 102: Winter Remnant
These dried hydrangea petals serve as a reminder of the importance of transition, transformation, and change; providing a brief moment of reflection on what was and what is to come. My boyfriend, Klaus the Pug, joined me in deep thought.
Interstitial 96: By Jove
I think I got it! I think I captured a snowflake, or at least two stacked on top of each other. Check the gallery below to see it up close and my favorite—moss—with snow!
It was quite strange waking up on March 6 to a trace of snow on the ground. It was lightly snowing when I was taking shots, and I wasn’t at all expecting to see the actual shape of a snowflake in my photos. I didn’t think the kit lens was capable. What a fun surprise!
P.S. The image darkened after bringing it into WordPress. I’m not sure what that’s about.
