Moss And Unique Tree Trunks Provide A Natural Landscape Showcase

Moss is one of the most beautiful features of natural landscapes. It is mainly found in the northern hemisphere. The texture is soft and contains several different shades of green. It showcases in dense forest and wooded areas. This natural specimen thrives in shaded areas. To many homeowners or commercial companies, moss can be a nuisance. It can be removed by hand but is a tedious process. You can remove it will chemicals but alway check and make sure the chemicals are safe for the trees and other surrounding plant specimens.

I wanted to share this gallery page with you as these eleven photos represent an exclusive look at different trees. Five of the pictures show moss covering the entire trunks and others show some bark and other distinctive characteristics. All of these shots are some of nature's most artistic traits. The roots and trunks of these trees are found in secluded forests and woods of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virgina mountains. Many of you have similar structures in your area. Feel free to tell us about a beautiful place in the show and tell section and share your photos of some natural trees with others. For those of you that have never seen this type of natural phenomenon, grab a cup of coffee, soda, or tea and I hope you enjoy one of nature's prettiest sites. The first three photos was taken on the trails leading to Mount Mitchell, North Carolina. Each shot represents different trees in the woods.

Hole In Trunk

The following photo is one of my favorites. The root system stretches above the ground and creates a great pathway for little creatures to walk through. This tree can be found on a trail around Table Rock, South Carolina.

Animal Walkway

Here is an exceptional looking tree that shows off its distinct trunk structure. It is located on a trail in Pickens County, South Carolina. Besides tree trunks and moss, take a look at the different water and rock features in the mountains. The trail leads to Station Cove Waterfalls.

Distinctive Trunk

This picture is a fascinating view of a multi root system on an older tree. I call it the octopus as the lengthy roots and structure gives it a look of an many legged creature. This is a wonderful tree to view from a pathway in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

The last photo is a little different shot. It was taken on a path leading into Opossum Creek Falls in South Carolina. I love the look of the entire trunk begin engulfed with the needles. A really spectacular natural looking tree trunk.

Needles On Trunk

This gallery page gives you an idea what moss looks like in a natural landscape setting. The tree trunks and roots are rare and beautiful plant specimens. I will be writing a page this week on a school or home project with trees.
