Spanish Moss

There is a slight possibility that this picture will not win any awards, but have you ever tried to photograph Spanish Moss? For some unexplainable reason, it is not easy. Here's my best effort, taken at Point Reyes a couple of days ago.
 
Spanish Moss is neither Spanish, nor is it moss. It goes by many different names ~ Grandfather's Gray Beard being one of the more popular ones.
 
Native Americans had many uses for it. It does not harm the trees it grows from, except for the very minor effect of its shade.
If I have aroused your curiosity, you may now go to Google.
