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 always check and make sure the chemicals are safe for the trees and other surrounding plant specimens.

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.

The next photo was taken in a thick forest in the Mount Rogers area of Virginia. Notice the massive amount of moss surrounding the trees. Great Smokey National Park is home to many fallen trees and natural features on and surrounding these mature specimens. Notice the length of this tree and the roots at the far end of the photo. The park straddles the states of Tennessee and North Carolina.















The next five photos of are rare and unique tree trunks and roots. The first shot was taken in Virginia. The roots are visibly noticeable and is on a pathway that takes you to Natural Bridge area. Take a look at the big hole in the center of the trunk. The tree is located in the forest of Mount Pisgah in North Carolina. A definite unique specimen.

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.

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.

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.
