Here’s a picture of a lichen “forest” growing on weathered wood. Worlds of wonder exist in landscapes large and small.

Sometimes I wonder what's beneath me since I tend to look up. The water forest is beautiful.
Yeah, I look up a lot too. Thanks for the comment on the water forest!

Love your water forest, the green is so vibrant! Agree some of the best photo ops are often closer to our feet than our eyes! Thanks for joining the challenge!
Thanks Tina!
We all need to look down to see the wonder of photo-synthesis. You have done so. Thank you!
They are green machines!
Wonderful choices.

Beautiful captures especially the first one. As the waves are combing the plants and changing the view, that capture is unique.
Thank you! That scene really caught my eye.
