Still Liking The Lichen

Another of the little details that I love, the palette of colours provided by lichen clad rocks.

A Happy Rock

Lichen is quite fascinating, fungus and green algae growing together in a symbiotic relationship. Apparently 6% of the earths surface is covered in lichen. This one appealed to me because it made the rock look like it is smiling.

Lovely Lichen

I spend so much time watching the more gregarious entities around our land that it is easy to overlook the more subtle treasures which are often right in front of me. I love to just sit quietly in one spot and see what I notice, I am never disappointed.

I'm Liking the Lichen

Lichen only grows where the air quality is good so what could be better than finding it in your own yard?


This fascinating life form comes in so many shapes and shades,


each one is a unique, natural work of art.
