Moss Covered Stone, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington, 2019

A black and white nature photograph of a moss-covered rock surrounded by Star False Solomon's Seal as found along Forest Road 52 (Skate Creek Road) in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington. — Moss Covered Stone, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington, 2019

While photographing water and forest scenes along Forest Road 52 (Skate Creek Road) in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near Packwood, Washington, I came across this moss-covered rock. The rock appeared to have rolled down a nearby slope and was surrounded by a patch of Star False Solomon’s Seal.

On this intimate landscape photograph, I filled the frame with the main subject (the moss-covered rock) and used the Star False Solomon’s Seal as a border.
