Moss and lichen: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, April 2026 — No, it is not a hill. It is just a tiny mound of moss, about 2 inches high, probably growing over a small rock or old tree root. But from ground level and very close, it takes on a life of its own. It is, as are most things in life, a matter of perspective and how close you look. As we learn to take different points of view and look more closely, we grow as human beings. A little practice at the macro scale improves our view at every scale. Or that is how I look at it. (Besides, in this awkward transitional season, there is not a lot else to look at 🙂 Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary at 58mm equivalent field of view.
