Closeup Lichen...

25 April 2011

Easter Monday...

Macro Monday...  and The Power of Observation: Life in a Tiny Ecosystem...

I couldn't resist a few more closeup photos of lichen...


I just find something magical about lichens...


I really must look for a book that shows what the different varieties are...


The thorns on the hawthorne tree... I took these photographs before the leaves came out...


These photographs were taken while walking across the fields on Cavehill...


These gave a frosty look to the photo even though it was warm sunny morning...


They are like a forest within a forest...


Among the mass of silvery toned lichen was a little microcosm of yellow...

Fantastic shots! Love the 4th and last photos. Amazing bokeh on both. The contrasting yellow color on the last shot really makes it much more interesting.

 

Love these! The colors, shapes, textures, perspective...fabulous!

 

A lot of diversity in the lichens, it's like another world.

 

Lichen may be harmful to other plants but on their own they look gorgeous especially that yellow one.

 

You found a lot of variety of lichen and much texture.

 

Lovely DoF in the last image. Lichens are often overlooked, but not by you. Great shots.

 

Beautiful photos!
Thanks for your visit and comment on my blog! :-

 

Beautiful photos of lichens. I included a link to your blog in my webpage on forest observations ("The Power of Observation: Life in a Tiny Ecosystem"). Would you do me the favor of linking back to my page, too?
