Beauty is all around Stamford

These two pictures are some of the beautiful sights that I see when I walk.

The moss on the rock outcropping was staring right at me when I was walking on Mianus Road.  Moss is everywhere in Stamford.  But this moss just stood out. The green was just vivid, and the texture gives it a great 3-D effect. I was so tempted to take some of the moss. It is great to put moss on house plants to give them a more natural look.  I did not.  Removing moss from the rock would have taken away the beauty of rock.

The sunset was a pleasant surprise.  At this time of year, I don’t usually walk in the late afternoons.  The temperature is dropping, and I don’t like to be out when it starts to get dark.

That day I made an exception and I was walking back on Vine road when I saw the  sunset. Seeing the orange-red sky against the silhouette of the trees is stunning. Seeing sunsets like this is a winter opportunity only.  The rest of the year the sun sets later, and the leaves block out the sunsets.

I shall keep on walking and sharing the natural beauty that is all around us.
