Some mosses this afternoon

It's a long time since I studied biology -- more than half a century. And I understand the mosses and liverworts, taught to me as plants, are "plants" no longer. Like poor Pluto not being a planet anymore. Well, I still see them as plants.
We've had a couple of weeks of mostly sub-freezing weather, but the mosses seem to hold up well in almost any weather. This was this afternoon while ice was not melting, but running brooks were still oozing down through the lucky mosses.

EDIT, next morning: I have been corrected by a short look through the Internet's many bryophyte discussions. Mosses are indeed still “plants.” They are seedless and non-vascular, but plants nonetheless.
