One of my longest Flickr friendships was made last summer when I was fortunate enough to meet Joe Vimal Raj Jeyaraj . I was very excited to find another photographer who used my new camera at the time, the Canon SX30 IS. I was amazed at the quality of his images, and thrilled that he was as friendly as he was talented. Joe's taught me so much! We've been trading comments almost every day since we met and become great friends along the way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!! I hope you have a GREAT DAY and here's to another year of friendship!! *big hugs* I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

[best appreciated at full size against black] Last Saturday, Steve and I went to the top of the Upper Table Rocks to look for wildflowers and any other wonderful thing we could find. As I made my way over the flat mesa, I soon discovered beautiful Haircap moss growing on rocks near the vernal pools (seasonal marsh). Bending down to get a nose-close view, I found myself facing a village of sporophytes who look as if they've gathered together to meet the strange huge being who came to visit! Aren't they incredible?! Every kind of moss has a different type of sporophyte and Haircap moss sporophytes are much larger than the ones on our property! I really like their shape, don't you?! :) I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr! www.flickr.com/people/sfhipchick/ This image was taken in March, 2012.
