Lichen It

Lichen It

This lichen has taken up residence on an old Valley Oak stump. Fallen oak branches, snags, logs and decaying trunks require a considerable amount of time to develop though they will serve as habitat for decades.

  • Amazing contrast, amazing transformation. Old wood into lichen matrix. Is it difficult to identify lichen?

  • Now, that is REALLY nice!
    Sometimes it seems like lichen is more of an animal than a plant.
    Love those old Valley Oaks.

  • That is a pretty neat shot. Normally I wouldn't think someone could make a decent shot out of a tree trunk and lichen, but you did. Good going! I love the color of the lichen!
