Devil’s matchstick
(Cladonia floerkeana)
Also known as 'British soldier'.
A quirky lichen with red-capped branches (known as 'podetia'), this lichen usually grows between one and three centimetres in height.
Like all lichens, the Devil's matchstick is actually two organisms working together: a fungus and an algae in a symbiotic relationship.
Where to see it
Cladonia floerkeana has a fondness for dead wood so rotting logs and fence posts are a good place to start. It also grows on well drained soil with a high organic matter content such as that found on heath and moorland.
Distribution
This lichen is scattered throughout the UK, although more commonly found in the north and the west.
Did you know?
Lichens are very sensitive to air pollution: the more lichens you find in a place the cleaner the air!

This geological growth stands out abruptly in the middle of Mammoth Hot Spring's Palette Springs. Fascinating.....
Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully with some sun and warmth.
Thanks for taking a look!

Vale of Rheidol Railway engine The Prince of Wales and Devils Bridge end of line station. The name comes from the old bridge built some say by the Devil himself after an encounter with a local elderly woman in the 11th century. The Devil was outwitted by the woman and fled in shame.
This picture is really funny. He was only finishing to yawn, but with his milk teeth, and his grimace, he was really looking like a little devil! ;)

Considered to be the most pristine of all rivers in Texas, Devils is truly a sight to be seen...
The crystal clear, caribbean green waters contrast starkly against a backdrop of West Texas Canyon Land. It is a place where drought resilient desert species co-mingle with water hungry riparian woodlands.
As the river flows primarily across vast expanses of private land, access is extremely limited. The Devils River State Natural Area is really one of the only points of public access and it is well off the beaten path... but well worth the effort to explore!
Devil's Island was notorious for being used for the internal exile of French political prisoners, with the most famous being Captain Alfred Dreyfus

We retrace most of our way through the hospital halls back to ground level, we don’t look around any further though. Like I said, rangers‘ll probably be scouting around after we took down that drone, so my only goal is getting us out of the area as soon as possible. God dammit, this whole time we were being way too reckless and I didn’t even consider if there was anyone in here with us. I'm usually not this irresponsible when we’re out here...
We find an exit on the south wing. I go up beside one of the shattered out glass doors and we both peak out.
Phin - “I’m not liking the looks of how open it is. What d’you think we should do?”
Cristy - “I mean, do you really think there’s that much of a risk?”
Phin - “After having that encounter with the drone we can’t be too sure."
I push the door framing open and lead towards a rusty car smashed front-first into a support. I kneel behind it and look around. With the better angle, I now see the one building next to us is a parkade.
Phin - “We can go along that car garage. That way we’ll have something to duck into if anything happens.”
Cristy - “I really think you’re over thinking all this.”
Phin - “ ‘Better to over think than under think.”
I stand back up and pat Cristy on the back.
Phin - “Keep it moving.”
I move around the car and walk with a hunch to try and keep low. We follow along the side of the parkade through tall grass and bushes; passing by the entry way and fenced off window openings.

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind.

The Great Platte River Road Archway Museum features the Mormon Pioneer Trail by telling the story of the 1856 disaster near Devils Gate, in which about 220 emigrants died of malnutrition and exposure. The museum tells of suffering, endurance, and heroism. Others have criticized emigration organizers, especially Brigham Young, for encouraging two wagon trains to start too late in the season.
This is the only visitor center I have found that mentions this disaster.
"Devils Island Lighthouse" by Patti Deters. Devils Island Lighthouse is one of six lighthouses in the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, about 20 miles from Bayfield and is the farthest north of the 22 island archipelago. It was first lit in 1891 and is the only lighthouse in the Apostles group that still has its original Fresnel lens. The original architecture was a self-supporting 82-foot steel cylinder, but the high winds of its exposed location caused the tower to shake so badly that lightkeepers complained that the motion sometimes extinguished the lamp. In 1914, the Lighthouse Service reinforced the structure with external braces, giving the tall white tower the appearance we see today. The sea caves and cliffs on the island and under the lighthouse are some of the most alluring within the national lakeshore. Although Devils Island is relatively remote, its lighthouse is a popular destination for experienced boaters and sea kayakers who like to explore the cliffs, water-carved arches, vaulted chambers, and honeycombed passageways of the sea caves. Tour boats do not usually stop at Devils Island, but lake cruises offer excellent views of this historic navigational landmark as is seen in this vertical photograph taken with wispy clouds in the deep blue sky.

After many stumbling ascents of the stiperstones (to no avail), this scene appeared as the rising sun lit up the early morning mists. View is from the 'devils chair' looking across the northern flank of the Longmynd towards the Wrekin,
