Since it’s another rainy day (this is so you, April), here’s a colorful tableaux featuring lichen. #photography #nature #lichen

Lichen covers a maple trunk against an orange backdrop of dead marsh grass and a few scattered spots of red maple buds.

Found a nice vitricolous lichen yesterday in New York. I'm assuming it's some sort of rock shield (Xanthoparmelia) but not sure which one. Per Harris (2004) there are 15 different species in the state. #lichen #glass #nature #fungi #algae #inaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/269613876

American Starburst lichen (Imshaugia placorodia), surrounded by various lichens on the branch of a coniferous tree

Light grey-blue foliose lichen with large olive-brown fruiting bodies on a branch.
The lichen is surrounded by other olive-green foliose lichens and other lichens.

Two photos from today's walk!

Loved the blue coloring on that #mossy rock, which marks the edge of a competing #lichen. Before I saw that, I thought it was just a blank space.

Moss and pale lichen grow on a large and gorgeous rock.

A flowering tree sports cheerful pale blossoms, looking painterly as fuck.

A little #ForestFloor vignette from yesterday afternoon. There is no fresh green here, yet, though Aspen and Willow catkins are bursting out and should soon be flowering, leaves and non-woody plants will follow..
Meantime #WildflowerWednesday #WildflowerHour will have to settle for the resilient leaves of Pink-flowered #Wintergreen Pyrola asarifolia against a backdrop of beautiful #lichen on a fallen bit of birch trunk. #LichenSubscribe #BorealForest #Alberta #Canada #spring #SolaceInNature

A fallen bit of birch trunk, a hand's width or less, crosses the frame from side to side in the top half. It has become completely covered in the small multiply branching 'fronds' of a pale blue-green lichen. The surface is dusted with reddish fallen spruce needles and bits of golden green moss have taken hold as well, including one spreading clump near the centre top. Below, in front centre is a small rosette of wintergreen, it's several deep green slightly purple-red limned leaves- clearly last year's, not fresh- are highlighted against the pale lichen. The wintergreen leaves rise from a layer of faded grey-brown poplar leaves from last year, wet between from recent snow melt and rain.

The many orange tips of this ground lichen were impossible to miss as I climbed up the trail, as if the lichen was hoping to be noticed. I didn't want to let this organism down, and here we are

The image shows a cluster of small, orange-tipped lichen growing on a dark, slimy base in a forest floor setting. There are also bits of greenery, such as moss, and leaf litter surrounding the mushrooms. It looks like a damp, natural environment typical of places where fungi and lichen thrive.

13 years of moss and lichen growth.

I hung this helmet up in 2012. It was the end of a transcontinental motorcycle trip during which one of my buddies died.

This is my monument to Mark.

A black Harley-Davidson motorcycle helmet hangs on a wood and chicken wire greenhouse door. The top surface is smooth, but the under surface has transformed into a moss and lichen garden. Several tufts of spiky orange/green moss grow above the Harley badge. Several ghostly green lichens stretch arms out into the air.

Misty morning running, and what better expression of it than this lichen/fence symbiote.

A fence almost completely covered in lichen, with a fuzzy oak peeking over the top.

$A close-up shot, taken from a slightly elevated perspective, focuses on a large, fractured rock. The rock appears to have split cleanly down the middle, creating a narrow, dark crevice between the two substantial halves. The surfaces of the rock are textured and uneven, displaying a mix of light grey, white, and darker tones, suggesting various mineral compositions. Patches of yellow and grey lichen are scattered across the stone, adding colour and indicating weathering. The edges of the fracture are rough and jagged, revealing the internal structure of the rock. Small pebbles and debris are visible within the dark gap. The surrounding ground is sparsely covered with dry, brown grass and a few stray twigs, suggesting a natural outdoor environment. The lighting is natural and diffused, highlighting the textures and colours of the rock and the surrounding earth. The overall impression is one of geological forces at play, showcasing the raw and weathered beauty of natural stone.$
