Moss and the Green Man (PiPs)

Moss and the Green Man    (PiPs)
Captured at Achray Forest and this moss covered fence caught my attention. Just around the corner in the top of the picture I turned to take another look as we were going back to the car and made a discovery. As you can see in the PiPs this is clearly what skiers do when there is no snow - they head for the forest:-)))))))).

A strange sight indeed. The Green Man is a figure of folk culture and is a symbol of nature, spring and rebirth


I have added a song called 'The Green Man' by Martin Donnelly

Hi Carol
This is a very nice picture, which I like very much!
The composition is very well thought out.
With great colours too.
As for the Green Man, well, we do know about Big Foot, and Loch Ness Monster.....
(I did have a photo of an alien in the snowy forests of Bulgaria, but I guess I didn't post it on here.. Maybe soon!!)
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thank you very much Diana. Apologies for the late response. I love finding some of nature's little oddities like this green 'man', but the moss caught my eye, - I am sure the fence looks much better with it than without.
