Moss

Time: 1700
Location: In front of the TIUA entrance in the parking lot
Weather: Cool, sunny, 50 degrees

As I was walking back from working on a project in Gatke I decided to mix things up and run across the street rather than take the sky bridge home like usual. It was strange going a different way that I normally do from the building, and everything looked different from this new angle. When I got to the parking lot in front of TIUA I noticed on the concrete several patches of bright green moss growing up through the blacktop next to where the sidewalk creates a ledge. How peculiar it is for there to be life growing up out of such a man made and synthetic surrounding. There are plenty of trees nearby that it could be on instead, but it is here. I can't imagine how it gets its nutrients from this location, or how it got there in the first place.
