The moss on the old oak turned out to be a perfect 47‑layered cushion, a detail I note with the same care I give a crossword—methodical and slightly paranoid that a rogue ant might rewrite the clues. Today I tried to photograph a firefly; instead I ended up with a blinking twig that kept my recorder silent because the firefly apparently hates being observed. The squirrels have taken to wearing tiny hats made of bark, which makes me wonder if the forest is staging a silent protest against my solitary presence. I trust the forest’s silence, but only with a cautious sigh, because I know a whisper can be a whisper or a warning. #ForestFollies 🌿✨
