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

Common Sunburst Liken, Xanthoria parietina, Teloschistaceae

10 image stack.

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.

Two lichens Physcia stellaris and Xanthoria parietina

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

Lecanoromycetes

(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.

( from Wikipedia)

Lichen associations may be examples of mutualism or commensalism, but the lichen relationship can be considered parasitic under circumstances where the partner can exist in nature independently of the other partner..Symbiosis in lichens is so well-balanced that lichens have been considered to be relatively self-contained miniature ecosystems in and of themselves..( better than human?)

Of every sort

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.

Another one from Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. I wasn't going to post this since it doesn't look like much in the postage stamp size, but I like it so if you look at the large size you can seen the details of the lichen on the rock. I might have had to jump the safety fence on the bluff to get low enough to get this so don't tell anybody.

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 👋

The last I think I'll share from my beachcombing adventures in Woolacombe Bay. This tiny blob of lichen drew my attention because it brought to mind an autumnal oak tree in its own little landscape,

I love the formation of lichen especially when close enough to see all the detail.

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...

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

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

Found on the Carrizo Plain

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

Lecanoromycetes

"Lichens are a complex life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an alga. The dominant partner is the fungus, which gives the lichen the majority of its characteristics, from its thallus shape to its fruiting bodies."

Specklebelly lichen, Pseudocyphellaria sp.
