Lichen story

I have this thing with lichen.
Lichen and mosses are like fractals. They look like something whole from a distance and then, up close, you discover a new dimension with totally new shapes. Ok, so not totally like fractals, but still.

To keep my albums accessible, i’ve learned to keep these pictures separate from the regular ones. This album is where I will be putting all my lichen, moss, plants, birds pictures:

Let me show you a few already. Here are the lichen (maybe a miss) on the tōtaro, an oak-leave type lichen, some parasite that grows balls around branches, a lichen with tips that make little cups, etc. Aren’t they incredible?!
I hope you are just as amazed as I was at some of them.
