A look back down to the head of Little Loch Broom and its whitecaps. It's not that little, being 9.5 miles long from mouth to its head.

I guess it could also be entitled "A sweeping view" 😄

My family has just left, had a wonderful time. Will catch up on comments over the next couple of days.

I know I know..I am not very funny. Oh well.

Red oak leaves set against rocks with liesegang bands covered with lichen. Garden of the Gods State Park, Illinois

For Fenced Friday, this is a close up of the fence post I posted to the group a few weeks ago, showing the lichen in more detail.

While they were chopping down the evergreens in the car park the other day, they also cut loads of other trees back too. To make it worse they cut back the one tree that I always found loads of lovely lichen on. Oh well, I did at least find a substitute.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

This gorgeous little Lichen was found growing in a rotten tree trunk at the park today

This is for Tan, who CELEBRATES a very important birthday today. Happy Birthday, my friend. Enjoy Peru.

Lichen are fashinating

Lichens, organisms that derive from the symbiosis, that is coexistence, between algae and fungi: there are thousands of species in the world, with different appearance and characteristics.

(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.

Of every sort

Lecanoromycetes

I haven't got a clue why I gave this title, but I've got a head full of songs and lyrics, and liked this one. On wet days in Scotland, I love looking for Lichen covered trees or rocks. They're as addictive as sunsets!!

Xanthoria parietina on a moorland dry-stone wall

I take lots of pictures of moss and lichen, but then I don't put them on Flickr because I'm not sure they interest anyone. But I still like these miniature worlds on fenceposts and rocks.

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 👋

Macro Mondays theme '' Member's Choice : Into the Woods''

Into the woods! Well, not literally… We had more than our share of rain these days and the best I could do was to take a short stroll in one of my favorite parks. Walking around, looking desperately to find something worth taking, this small lichen (perhaps 2” wide) caught my attention. It was perfectly circular and grew on an old wooden fence. It reminded me of a miniature doily. I couldn’t resist and I took the shot.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

La Grande Foye, Poitou-Charentes, France, 14 April 2008

Lichens are non-parasitic and don’t harm any plants they grow on. In fact, they’re useful to other wildlife, offering nesting material for birds, and food and shelter to lots of invertebrates

good to go

I think this may be an African cluster bug which is an invasive species.

Found on the Carrizo Plain

Specklebelly lichen, Pseudocyphellaria sp.

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.
