This moss grew over the lake water near the first bridge. The moss seemed pretty thick, but thin enough where sunlight could still shine through (dim).

Baldhip Rose (Rosa gymnocarpa)Observer
cmnguyenDescription
These leaves weren't familiar to me, but by the thorns on the twigs/branches, I am making the assumption that this shrub is in the rose family. I am not able to find any flowers due to the season.
