Red trillium at Robert H Treman State Park in Ithaca, NY 🌱
Photo taken Friday April 24, 2026 📸
P.S. Remember not to pick or move these delicate flowers, and take photos instead -- they're protected by law. 😉
Look at this moss 👀🌿
Zoom in — those tiny stems with little caps are moss sporophytes, getting ready to release spores. This is how moss spreads and slowly carpets the forest floor.
Found just outside Ithaca, NY today.

Look at this tiny mushroom that grew around a blade of grass 🍄🌱
I found this on a trail at Lime Hollow Nature Center in Cortland, NY — early spring is full of little things like this if you slow down enough to notice. ✨️
