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 ....

Macro Mondays ......... Theme " All Natural "

Colourful lichen, composite organisms that arise from the algae and bacteria living among the fungi on the bark of a tree. The macro shows the beautiful rainbow of colours and textures that go unnoticed.

Thanks for all the views,faves and comments,very much appreciated.

Two lichens Physcia stellaris and Xanthoria parietina

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.

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)

Can't add much to the title -- lichen on a cherry tree. Lichens can grow almost anywhere.

Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

This is the split rail fence that borders a portion of the Mill Valley Dog Park and is probably the most colorful fence you'll find anywhere, with lichen growing along its entire length.

I don't know what Flickr has done with the EXIF data, but I set the aperture at f22 for this shot, in order to get the entire length of the fence in sharp focus. Whatever Flickr's problem is, I hope they fix it soon because, whenever I see an interesting image, I immediately check the EXIF data to see how the shot was accomplished, and I really miss not having it.

HFF!

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 👋

(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.

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...

Specklebelly lichen, Pseudocyphellaria sp.

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

If you've ever taken a likin' to lichen, this is the fence for you.

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

Lichen are a symbiotic (some say parasitic) combination of fungus and algae/cyanobacteria. The fungi provide a stable envoronment and essential minerals. The leaflike algea and/or cyanobacteria provide the fungus with sugars via photosynthesis.
