In album Macro photography (35 photos)
This moss is growing on a tree and each tiny clump of moss of about 1/2" in diameter is made up of dozens of these stalks with almost transparent 'leaves' on them as you see here. These are about 1 cell thick, as I only just discovered on researching this a moment ago. They are completely invisible to the naked eye.
They were photographed at 4.5 x magnification using a Canon MPE-65 Macro lens.

Wonderful idea and nicely captured too
Thank you +Aamir Shahzad
Wow, +Steven Kennard. It's nice to see what the moss really looks like, up close and personal.
+Steven Kennard what a gorgeous capture! I love moss, it grows a lot around our home during the wetter months and there are so many moss rocks on the hills surrounding us, even in it's dry form it is quite beautiful I feel.
Thank you +Felicity Baker It's just amazing what we don't normally see. I love pointing my lens into the unknown!
