Dry moss in a grey stone crevice with bright green sporophytes.
Today in the Nagasaki Peace Gardens in Japan
Moss is always a symbol of a resilience to me.
So very apt in this place for the recovery and hope from the horrors of 1945

A close view of damp soil covered in bright green moss, tiny heart shaped seedlings, and scattered twigs. The ground looks uneven and richly textured, with small roots and patches of bare earth visible between the plants.
I was in Taipei, Taiwan
There was moss
Here it is!

A close, ground‑level view of bright green moss spreading across a weathered reddish brick. The moss forms a dense, cushiony carpet of tiny leaves, with several thin brown stalks rising above it, each tipped with a small capsule. The brick beneath shows rough texture and patches of pale lichen, giving a sense of age, moisture, and a miniature forest thriving on stone.
According to my sources, I met this moss in Penang, Malaysia a year ago today

A close, intimate view of bright green moss on a dark, rough surface, each slender sporophyte tipped with a clear water droplet. The droplets catch and bend the light, acting like tiny lenses that magnify the moss beneath them. The foreground is crisp and detailed, while the background softens into a blurred wash of greens, giving the whole scene a sense of quiet, miniature abundance.

A promotional poster for “Moss Safari Monthly,” a live online microscopy event exploring microscopic life in moss. The design uses green tones with illustrations of moss, a microscope, and a calendar. Text explains that the series offers five one hour narrated sessions on Zoom, each limited to twenty five participants, with recordings included. It highlights the calm, expert led nature experience and mentions previous features at BBC Live Lesson, New Scientist Live, and the Natural History Museum. Dates for sessions from February to June 2026 are listed, along with pricing of ten pounds per session or forty pounds for all five. Buttons for more information and booking appear at the bottom alongside the website address.
Final few days before the first session. Sign up for one, or all five.
First one this Wed 25th Feb 2026, 7-8 pm GMT!
Join the adventure! Can't wait to see you there.

The above view of a fence post. It is weathered and has patches of grey lichen and moss cushions. Background is blurred grass.
Love a populated post. Moss and lichen rule these lands.

Advert for the London Linnean Society Exploring the Hidden Life in Moss. 8th April 2026
Want to see a live Moss Safari? I’m excited to share I will be doing a live online session for the Linnaean Society of London on 8 April 12:30. Sign up here members.linnean.org/events/6995e...
A dense, twisting tree is coated in thick, vivid green moss that clings to every branch and curve. The moss forms plush, velvety pads along the limbs, softening the bark and highlighting the tree’s contorted shapes. In some places it hangs in loose, feathery strands, in others it forms deep cushions that glow against the darker wood. The forest floor is muted beneath it, making the moss the brightest and most alive element in the image.

A close up of a two vertical tree branches at a fork, they are covered in green textured moss, which is particularly think in the girl. The background has blurred moss covered branches reaching out into the distance.

Well look at this! Fantastic that this marvellous microscopic is out in the main stream media 💚🔬 #iseemoss
A close view of a tree trunk in Brighton, England, its bark thickly carpeted with vivid green moss. The camera angle runs along the trunk, highlighting the ridges and soft, velvety growth. Bare winter branches and a pale sky blur in the background, giving a cool, early season atmosphere.

A close view of a tree branch thickly coated in bright green, water‑soaked moss. The moss looks plush and saturated, with fine filaments catching the light. The background is softly blurred forest, with other mossy branches hinting at a damp, shaded woodland.

A close view of a fallen branch thickly coated in bright green moss, its soft texture standing out against a blurred woodland background of muted browns and greens. The shallow depth of field highlights the moss’s tiny fronds while the surrounding forest fades into gentle softness.
Sodden mossy branch. Vivid. Wet.

One of the highlights of my teaching year. Moss Safari with my University of Brighton trainee teachers. Read about what they learnt, how they might use it and and how many of the microscopic Big Five we found. The library roof has lots of tardigrades! mosssafari.com/2026/02/08/f...
You too and for your fascinating talk
With you 100% 💚🔬
