Lichen are neither plants nor animals. They are various types of cooperative, symbiotic aggregations of algae, fungi and microbes.
This particular type of lichen grows and spreads in two dimensions. As shown here, its growth habit is roughly circular on a relatively flat surface. Also as shown here, aggregations compete with one another for the 2D space.
These lichen seem to have grown on a surface first populated with moss. In my experience, if 2D lichen aggregations are left undisturbed, they persist for years where they form; even decades.
Location: Top, flat surface of a cement parapet. It surrounds the courtyard of St. Chrischona Church, in the St. Chrischona settlement, Bettingen BS Swizerland.

HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY !!
THE CAPTION IS NOT ABOUT ME PERSONALLY.
In fact. I am the opposite right now.
Here, I am just being an image poet.
However, maybe it speaks to some among you.
Feel free to send it out as a "Blueventine."
To make this, I have slud a lot.
I straightened an askew image, cropped it square,
made it bluer than blue and as sharp as a heart in pain.

HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !!
I don't know the "artists" who spray-painted this pale-blue trash bin. The other artist was Mom Nature. She did the rust. This is just a partial view of a very large bin. Somebody clearly thought that pale blue was monotonous and boring.
Location: Outskirts of Riehen BS Switzerland.

The lines and shapes of this abstract accidentally mimic some of those in my photo of last week called 'RLH 2'.
