Moss and adventure...

On a wet day in early June Andrew and I headed out, southeast of town, following the Clackamas River. As we drove I became enthralled with the trees covered in hanging lichen. The images I saw were a PNW version of Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) found in warmer climates.
I wanted to take home armfuls and drape it around my garden.
As I photographed the moss and lichen the sun came out.

This growth looked like a miniature staghorn fern.

Walking on I discovered this contraption. Wanna go for a ride?
Just a couple of slats for your bum and a place to rest your feet...
And off! Across the river you go...
