I "lived" in Olympia Washintgon between 2000 and 2002, during my junior and senior years, at The Evergreen State College. It was then that I fell in love with trees, more than I ever had before. I also fell in love with moss.

Moss most often needs a damp area to grow. In addition to the wild, you might spot moss in more contained areas, such as Japanese gardens.

Moss is most appealing when it blankets a tree or rock. There are over 12,000 species of moss which is quite spectacular in my book.
I came to think of moss as a friend. I've been away from Olympia for several years now, and I miss my moss. The occasional patch pushing its way up through a crack in the sidewalk is not the same.
Moss is wonderful on its own, but artists have been known to make it their own.

We often look to flowers as staples of nature and beauty. But why not moss?
Is It the School, or the Students?
