    Lichen is the window to a completely different world many of us know so little about 🙂 🙂

    I love lichens, you captured some of the nice orange-colored ones. The top-of-page image has splendid fall colors.

    I wonder how many different answers you would’ve got if you hadn’t titled this picture and asked for suggestions of what it was? Mother Nature does love to repeat her patterns all over the place. 😀

    It’s so interesting, of all the memories I have of my 34 years in the maine woods, lichen and moss are one of those memories that emerges most often. We had enormous boulders on our 65 acres. ♥️
