Wet Forest - Happy Lichen! 21 September 2013 |
Brief showers instantly revived forest lichen. |
Numerous varieties populate every inch of this tree's bark. |
Ochrolechia subpallescens - a fascinating lichen variety. |
Yep, it's a lichen, but you have to look very carefully to see it. |
The wet forest seemed to breathe with renewed life. |
Fallen leaves, displaced lichen littered the forest floor. |
Rain soon stopped, clouds parted, afternoon sunlight filtered through the forest. |
Sing a song of Autumn! |
