Lichen It Or Not. April 2020

Lichen it or not (awful pun!) is everywhere! Look here for example, I have a Climbing Rose that's only a few years old, yet the Lichen makes it look brittle and almost dead. Great for Macro.

Apparently, it's a natural air quality indicator, as it absorbs everything in the environment around it, but only thrives when the air quality is clean. In fact, scientists use lichen as a measure of air quality in different areas. Well I never knew that! Nice to know I've clean air around me :)
