Hopefully, if I create a series, what may seem like a strange title now

Tree bark: I had a difficult time with it.  I might play around with it a

Moss or Grass?  At first, I wanted it to look more like moss, but later, I 
changed my mind, and thought it would be kind of fun to actually have it be 
a grassy set of hills...
