Lichens
Lichens growing on granite:
I have a folder of neglected pictures called “lost and forgotten” – images that I decided not to post or print, but that seemed interesting enough to set aside. This one is from last winter, and I had forgotten it. Lichens are homely, but I love all the intricate detail.

I love lichens. They are so beautiful and intricate.
Thanks – spring flowers are about to distract me, but maybe I should spend some time with British Soldier lichens again. It’s been a while.
interesting and striking š
Colour is great too .. .There is an ashen tone to the green ….
Thanks!
There’s a lot of beauty in that homeliness.
Thanks, Steve – lichens are more likeable than I thought, based on the responses to this post.
They are certainly an acquired taste.
I like like likeable lichens!
