Lichen

This lichen was growing on a small shrub in the Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania - this kind of lichen only grows where the air is very clean.

I like the muted tones in this picture - possibly caused by the light rain and heavy clouds of the day.  And for January, it was cold!

    I think cloudy rainy days are the best for photography. No shadows and the colors just pop! Nice image!

    I love Lichen on trees and rocks. Looked at through a magnifying glass and they are fascinating

    Very abundant lichens! I like the silvery grey one. It looks like my trees, I would have thought Australia would be too dry.
