Polytrichum juniperinum, or juniper haircap moss, is one of the most common mosses in the world. It's even been found on Antarctica!

A close-up photo of a sunny patch of moss. The moss plants are tall and have many small blade-shaped leaves emerging up their height, and are capped with reddish cups at their peak.

A close-up shot of an alderfly standing on a thick green pruinous leaf. this insect is dark, with a robust black body and thick wings. The wings appear mostly transparent, but have big dark veins giving them a solid aspect. They are covering most of the body of this insect, like a roof over it.

A close-up shot of a couple of flies, standing on a rosebush leaf. They are apparently copulating, with a slightly smaller fly, a male, on top of a slightly bigger one, the female. The flies look simiar aside from size: wide yellos head with red eyes, round black shiny thorax, and beautiful wings with a complexe black pattern on them.

A close-up shot of a fluffy caterpillar sitting on a dried plant. You cannot really see much more than the fluff. It's seen from the side, with dense grey fur, but you can also see some orange and black fur on the top. It has longer hairs spiking here and there.

A light brown frog, sitting on the side of a pond on rock. Its legs are banded with slightly darker brow, and it has a nice dark mark starting from its eye, going down to the back of its head.

A close-up photo of a bee on my fingers. It's quite fluffy, almost entirely covered in light beige fur. It has slender legs with some blakc tuff of hair, and big eyes. It seems to be looking at the camera. In the background is a blurry green meadow.

A close-up shot of a beetle in a cavity in dead wood. Its standing with its head down. It has big black eyes and short antennae. Spiky white hair is covering a lot of its body. It has a particular color pattern: black head and butt, dark red elbows, and a white stripe in the back.

A close-up photo of a green lizard. Its jaw and mandible are light teal, reaching also on the sides of its head. You can see the light brown color of its iris, with its visible eye carefully looking at the camera. It is resting on the side of a stone wall, with dense grass behind it, covering the end of its tail already.

A close-up shot of a carpenter bee, standing on the ark of a dead tree stump.
It is a big, black, shiny bee. It's catching a lot of sun and probably warming up. You can see its abdomen is partly covered in dense black shiny fur. Its dark wings have some beautiful blue reflexions.

Flowering Glechoma hederacea grows on an old humus-rich rootstock, which, together with some beige dead roots, forms the background of the photo.

# After the rain

Heavy rain last night but stopped (mostly) raining early this morning. Photo taken using a vintage (well, was new when bought) Canon manual focus macro lens on a Panasonic micro-four-thirds system camera. With a tripod. I love my old Canon FD lenses and they were a key contributing factor in my decision to buy the Panasonic when it came out (2008?).

Large pink blossom with rain drops on the petals and out of focus green leaves in the background.
