Today we hiked Caribou Mountain just over the border in Maine. It was fairly warm and humid today and it looked like the summit was going to be in the clouds and it was for the most part. Clouds would clear out every once in a while and we would have some views, but mostly we had no long range views. Instead we looked down. It's a whole nother world down there.

A little bit of dirt and something will find a way to grow there.

Looks like a rock garden of some sort but it's a moss growing on a lichen.

Just another great day in the White Mountains!
 
John... nice shots (as always :)....

Yes, there is something about cloudy & foggy days that helps you to look more closely to the small wonders around you.

Very nice.
 
Wow ! Who needs mountain views ? Those close-up shots of lichen, moss, etc. are phenomenal !!
