We had a lovely walk round the grounds of Lauriston Castle today. It's a beautiful park with lots of trees,
a pretty Japanese Garden and wonderful views over the Lauriston Farm fields to Cramond Island, the Firth of Forth and Fife in the background.
Looking closely, we can see Wall Screw Moss (Tortula muralis)
and Capillary Thread-moss (Bryum capillare)
Also lovely to see are the Witch Hazel shrubs in the Japanese garden, which are in bloom, a lovely early sign of Spring along with a drumming Great Spotted Woodpecker!

Great shots of the moss!
I like that flower pot!
What superb moss photos, CGP! Absolutely amazing.
Thanks Jeff and Caroline - I'm glad I could do them justice! It's a particularly lovely array of mosses!
Jenn - it is a very beautiful flower pot, there are a few of them in this part of the grounds.
Lovely photographs of the moss.
All the best Jan
