There's not much else in nature which is the colour of Lichen. I have no idea what you would call it, "grey-green" maybe? I think "Lichen" will have to do. Here's a lovely little patch of British Soldiers, or Devils Matchsticks or whatever people call it - but maybe not big enough red caps for those. In reality, it's a Cladonia some sort - my ID skills aren't up to getting any closer these days. On moorland somewhere up north. #Lichen #Nature

Maritime Sunburst Lichen, Xanthoria Parietina. Spotted this one on a tree on my street. Unlike a lot of lichens, it is somewhat tolerant to air pollution, apparently. I took this using my new camera's focus stacking feature that take multiple photos at different focal lengths and then combines them, which meant I had to use a tripod. Taken on a Canon R7 with a 100mm macro lens. #lichens #lichen #macrophoto #lichenphoto #canoncanada #canonr7 #ShareCanGeo

Every year one must marvel how the days grow brighter as spring approaches. I photographed moss and lichen in daylight at half past eight in the morning on my way to the library. Just a little while ago it would have still been dark when passing by this rock wall in the morning. Yesterday I was watching a downshifting video on moving to the countryside, and the new cottage owner/renovator said "I've never noticed the seasons shift before" and my understanding is that he's from a town rather than a city. What I like about Helsinki (which is also a thing the city council planning commission is planning on destroying) is how much space they used to give for trees and little pockets of nature between houses and different areas (now of course everything must be paved over in the name of progress, even though there are whole new empty buildings because no one wants to live in them) - I am appalled by how little nature city planners allow in general in towns and cities all over the world. But for now, still for a little while, it's possible to observe seasons in my small pocket of the world, by how dry the winter air has left moss on rock, the amount of light on a certain time of day, how bare the branches of the birch tree outside my balcony are. And so on. And so on. #lichen

Some more lichen detail from the wooden seat outside the local shop. I think there are examples here of crustose (grey crusty one at the very bottom with raised plateaux), foliose (blue-grey lobed one on the lower right that looks like waves in a storm), leprose (powdery yellow one in the bottom right corner that's growing on something else), and fruticose (grey-green branched one top left) species, all in one shot. These are growing between two of the slats forming the back of the seat, a shadier and more protected spot than the previous post which was of part of the sitting surface of the seat. #LichenSubscribe #MacroPhotography #Photography #Nature #Lichen #NaturePhotography

Lichen on a wooden seat just outside our local corner shop. The seat is pretty heavily colonised by lichen, with different species growing on top, between, and behind the slats. This is a 40 image photo stack, hand held (well, kneeling on the ground and propped against the bench, holding my breath so as to be as wobble-light as possible). #LichenSubscribe #Lichen #MacroPhotography #NaturePhotography #Nature

Came across Planet Moss in my neighborhood. Moss and lichen have completely taken over this concrete pillar, and it's a thing of beauty. #mosstodon #moosMontag #lichen #naturephotography #lookclosely
