strange--like something from another planet.

[Gayle]

@colleenculhane I agree . . . it is strange looking. Previously I only observed it from afar but ever since I started this project and take photos every day I am seeing so many things as if for the first time, including this lichen up close. I'm really enjoying it! Thank you for your comment, Colleen!

@boycotting Thank you, Justin! Participating in this project certainly encourages me to see things differently than I did before.

Isn't this neat - those raindrops are such a fabulous addition to the lichen. Love the colors and lighting.

Beautiful on black - what a varied selection of moss and lichen on that small branch.
