Lying so Gently in a Young Pine

This broken branch covered in lichen must have fallen from an overhead tree to land in this 3 foot pine. Seemed so restful there. Shows better enlarged.

Isn’t it amazing the things we see now, that we never noticed before we joined 365? This is a lovely, restful image.

We teach a whole unit on plants and fungi at work...here's the story to help children remember:
Annie Algae and Freddy Fungus met one day (we teach about mutual-ism and symbiotic relationships)
AND they took a lichen (likin') to one another.
But alas, their relationship went out on a limb (because lichens grow on trees)
And ended on on the rocks! (because lichens grow on rocks)
