29 January Lichen on prunus

Oh look another mossy lichen picture!! Sorry! I just love how this grows on the twigs and the cherry blossom buds already look quite full.

Beautiful buds! I hope the moss won't smuther them. Love the DOF!

[Constance Brinkley]

Yeah, the start to the greening of the garden. This is a great shot. Love the clarity of the blossom. As stated before, the moss in the NW is a staple and very familiar to me. Great focus and DOF!

Love lichen - so pretty and textured and a sign of ecohealth. Nicely captured with the swelling buds.
