Gorgeous Natural Displays




Today, I saw nature displayed on outcroppings above the lake.
There were mosses, ferns, lichens and mushrooms galore.

The mosses were varied green mats ... tempting me to recline as natives once did.
Some mosses arrayed spore cases ... preparing new generations to come.

The ferns had fiddleheads and fronds aplenty ... precious enough to be porch decor.
These ferns arrayed spore cases ... also, preparing new generations to come.

The lichens were nearly colorless splotches ... rounded symbionts adorning the rocks.
Some lichens were pale green and others were gray ... drying and flaking away new generations to come. 

The mushrooms were shaped like tams, coolie hats and buttons ... often white, but some brightly colored.
These mushrooms showed spore-laden gills ... preparing new generations to come.

Aren’t nature’s displays gorgeous?
