Cliffside Lake / Dry Falls with Ed Schwartzman
Cliffside Lake was a beautiful location for our second foray into mosses and liverworts.
Ed again started the day by saying he's not an expert on bryophytes and immediately began to overwhelm us with his knowledge - and enthusiasm.
He helped us see and understand the complexity (and wonder) of these nonvascular plants.
Dry Falls of course was spectacular with its unusual and rare mosses / liverworts.
Thanks to Ed for another wonderful day - and to Karen for capturing it in her beautiful photographs.
