So I have been labouring over lots of drawing exercises but forgot to balance that hard work (it's like learning scales on a musical instrument!) with having some fun. I have an artist group that meets once a month so I decided to do something fun for show & tell :-)

Looking at a community of lichens growing quite happily on a basalt outcrop strewn with pine-needle duff, not far from Snake Pit Falls.
In this extended series on one of America's greatest state parks, I'm going absolutely bonkers. In coming months I'll post as many of my numerous photos of this site as I possibly can, even if they're near-duplicates, because because this place in far-northwestern Wisconsin happens to be situated in a remarkable place, both geologically and botanically. For more on the dramatic geology, check out Part 2.
In this shot, however, the focus is on the branch of botany devoted to the identification and study of those amazing composite organisms, the lichens. The more one explores their world, which extends to so many different climates and habitats, one can't help wondering whether they're this planet's dominant form of life.
While more than one species is present, my attention rests squarely on the fine specimen of Crater Lichen (Diploschistes scruposus) at center. In my experience, it's often a pale, ashen gray. In this case, though, it's tinged green. perhaps because it was wetted by a recent shower and so had its photosynthetic component, most likely green algae, activated.
The pen, a temporary addition to the scene, was placed there for scale. The basalt underneath belongs to the Chengwatana Volcanic Group, which has been dated to about 1.1 Ga. It's part of the massive outflow of mafic lava produced by the Midcontinent Rift late in the Mesoproterozoic era. We'll have much more to say about that titanic structural feature in later images of this set.
And, by the bye, the browned needles seem to be in fascicles or bundles of five, which means they fell from nearby Eastern White Pines (Pinus strobus).
You'll find the other photos and descriptions of this series in my Integrative Natural History of Amnicon Falls State Park album.

I ran the cable through a 1/2" hole I drilled in the disc tray and used a rubber grommet to fill it back in.

Der Kompaktsatellit Eu:CROPIS wurde in der Integrationshalle des DLR Instituts für Raumfahrtsysteme gebaut und mit verschiedenen Testanlagen getestet. Eu:CROPIS ist ein Gewächshaus, mit dem erforscht werden soll, wie sich Pflanzen - in diesem Fall Tomaten - unter Weltraumbedingungen entwickeln. Der Satellitenbus wurde vom DLR Institut für Raumfahrtsysteme in Bremen entwickelt und gebaut. Die wissenschaftlichen Experimente sind Beiträge des DLR-Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrtmedizin, dem DLR-Institut für Faserverbundleichtbau und Adaptronik, der Friedrich-Alexander-Uni Erlangen sowie dem NASA Ames Research Center und der Utah State University. Der Satellit und seine Gewächshäuser werden vom DLR gesteuert und kontrolliert.
