I thought the distribution of the different species on this headstone was amazing .... in particular, how the eyes of the stone carved head had been filled in with this blue grey crustose lichen ....
My family has just left, had a wonderful time. Will catch up on comments over the next couple of days.
The Lichen on this rock appeared plugged in with vivid colors as the sun was setting over one of the Trail Islands. There is a tiny bit of sea water frozen in the middle of the black puddle that looks to be swallowing the island beyond.
The colors were magnificent at this moment, even highlighting the grasses and coloring them orange, and then it was gone.
Incredible lichen circles, 20-40cm diameter, hundreds of them on the levelled spoil area at the old gravel quarry, Eardington, just outside Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
Anyone from Tasmania would probably recognise these rocks as being from Bay of Fires, Binalong , Tasmania. There are some awesome photos around of BoF , but I was mesmerised by the rocks themselves. The orange is of course lichen. The name ‘Bay of Fires’ was given by an English explorer, Captain Tobias Furneaux when he sailed past in 1773 and spotted numerous Aboriginal fires along the coast.
We had 40c+ temps here today , in and out of the pool all the day, now we have thunder , lightning and thunderstorms. Love our Aussie weather 😉
Happy weekend everyone 👋
HFF!
There are about 1800 species listed in Britain and Ireland.
I do not have any idea which these are.......
(012/365) Best viewed Large. I believe these to be Black Tar Lichen (which coats the rock like tar) & Orange Lichen. Found on rocks above the tideline on Baginbun beach.

Perfect light to get the lichen on the branch.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Since I've been stuck at home, more or less, I've been reaquainting myself with some macro stuff. Hope you like!
not as sharp as I would like, but it still looks ok in the smaller size...

At long last she's done it. I have been after a good macro photo of the lichen that covers two of the trees in the car park. Up until today it seems to have had a dislike of being photographed!!
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Colourful lichen decorates this tree at the waterfront in Belle River, Ontario. Lichens are unique organisms consisting of a symbiosis of fungus and algae. Tough and resilient, they are able to quickly recover once favorable conditions return in some of the most difficult environments on earth.
Some wonderful lichen on a branch I saw the other day. May have to go back at another time in the day for the other great shapes as the light wasn't in my favour.

Macro photograph of Lichens growing on an Apple branch. We have a lot of lichens in our garden! They are such fascinating structures, a composite organism made up of a fungus, usually an ascomycete, that grows symbiotically with an alga or a cyanobacterium and characteristically forms a crustlike or branching growth on rocks or tree trunks.
