Two days before, Sendai city had some snow.
In the "Aoba-no-mori" forest, there were only few spots where the snow was remaining.

There was a rock beside walking road, which was lightly covered with melting snow.
As I was watching a moss was appeared from between melted snow.
The wet moss was very beautiful.

One sporophyte was standing like an arrow.
This sporophyte is including some spores inside.

Though there is no flowers or insects, you will find many "small world" of nature in winter's forest if you search carefully.
