Softening Hardscapes

Moss! I would like to state I have made several attempts to photograph flowering moss and this is about the best I can do so far. I will keep trying but I think it will be like chasing a unicorn,  its just never going to happen. The moss flowers in this picture are very old, when they are fresh they are a light green and about the same colour of the leaves of the moss. Unfortunately it also becomes a tripping hazard so most of the time I have to kill it. I do so begrudgingly as I like moss. It 'softens' hardscaping (stones, paths, etc) by making it a little green and gives it life. The moss in this picture gets to live as it is growing on top of a wall and lets face it, if youre walking on top of a wall that you arent suppose to, then hey its on your own neck. Its also doing a lovely job of visually softening the old limestone that its growing on.
