An incredibly 'rare find' macro. 4 different forms of lichen growing within 25 centimetres of each other.

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

Lichen on old birch tree

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)

Simply because I like it.

Lecanoromycetes

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!

(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

Xanthoria parietina on a moorland dry-stone wall

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 👋

This is a close-up photo of lichen patterns on a rock in Pine Grove Park in Milton.

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

Enter the world of lichen. Google tell s me "it's a composite organism that arises from algae living among multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship. This image taken using 1 - white lighting arm on an adaptalux lighting pod using a 40 mm kit macro lens.

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
