Lichens on a tree (are you up for a bit of that?, I know I am : )

Aw, cool. Just as awesome as my moss blog!!
Lichen, what can you say? Love the colour and textures and are you convinced Stevie that that is a good and proper rendition of 'red'?

I restrained myself from commenting on the 'trueness' of the red lol ; ) anyway thats a browny red so doesn't count!!
It did cross my mind 'gosh this is better than Lulus boring old mosses' ; ), just kidding of course, but I do remember your mighty fine moss blog, which shall not be surpassed, with alien balloon and poetry. Having said that I should have jazzed this up a bit with ummm maybe a nice healthy bare chested woman ; )

you up late Lulu? hope you are doing ok there, hope you are not in too much discomfort, I will send out some reiki-esk healing power in my thoughts to you x

That tree and its lovely lichens would be at home here, Stevie. Our mountainsides are peppered with them. Love the sunset!

What amazing pictures, Stevie. Are those fruit trees the lichens are growing on?

Heh!
Thank goodness you didn't reply last night or else I would have gone to bed even later. Last night was apres band practice.
Discomfort only brought on again last night by me bouncing around playing my drum. The vibrations rattled the stent the docs put near my kidney!!! (too much information maybe?)

Great blog Stevie..I love lichen! Some cool pics..oh and I love your uses of pallettes!

Fantastic photo's Stevie, as good as these.

The Opal project is worth a look around these pics would be good for the Opal Air survey.

these are fabulous, one of them, is called reindeer moss i think and the bright green one always reminds me of Shrek!!
good to see your trademark sunset photo too stevie

no recipes? moss chutney? lichen relish?

all the best lulu, take it easy, if you can.

Thanks folks,
Not sure what tree it is Gattina, I'll investigate, sure looks dead though.
Thanks for the link Pimp/Richard seems there a mixture of nitrogen sensitive and loving lichen!!!
Looks to me like Evernia, Cushion Xanthoria and somthing else
I think my chutney would kill them Sticki

Stop jumping around Lulu, you're supposed to be in bed getting our sympathy : 0

Need lots of sympathy from Wednesday onwards then!!

Amazing Stevie, that lichen is like a whole new planet of plants!!!
