Spanish Moss (Florida)

Posted by
Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 12 March 2020 in Plant & Nature.

Spanish Moss is the whitish/furry-looking substance that you see growing on the Florida Oak tree here in the image.
Spanish moss is described as "...an epiphytic flowering plant that often grows upon larger trees in tropical and subtropical climates, native to much of Mexico, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Central America, South America, Southern United States..." such as Florida, as we see here.

These sights seemed to draw lots of curious people from the nOrth ;-)

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"
