Tasmania is justifiably famous for its clean air - there is not really very much going on to its south and west, and that's where its air comes from. So, with clean air and (normally) abundant rain fall, moss and lichen cover many of the plants.
These pictures were all taken near the entrance to Cradle Mountain National Park.

I am also getting a bit of clean air myself, in terms of it not being so crazy busy. So, with luck I will have visited your blogs by the time this post goes live.

It is quite amazing how many different birds use lichens in the conctruction of their nests.
ReplyDeleteLike this post, so many different kinds of lichen. I see it just around the garden here. Cheers Diane

Like living frost.
ReplyDeleteHello Stewart!:) Lovely images of lichen. The tall tree trunk with the moss and is very attractively decorated. Are those tiny red toadstools I can see? As the air is pure up here on the mountain, and we have had wet conditions, there is lichen in abundance here on the farm.
ReplyDeleteGreat lichen photos!
ReplyDeleteThese are interesting and wonderful photos of lichen. I like also that you mentioned about fresh air, it's sometimes so rare.
ReplyDeleteStewart, you notice things that some people would miss.
The lichens look beautiful and plentiful for sure.

ReplyDeleteLichen is not a friend of mine..It has invaded my scalp and a few other places..Lichen plants..No fun..no cure..Great pictures though.
ReplyDeleteFresh air is always a good thing...
What wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of the time I first saw lichen...I was a young child, 5 or younger, and I lived in central British Columbia, which has a dry climate. However, my grandparents had moved from the Vancouver area, on the BC coast, to a rural area that was then still forested. There I saw lichen and fungus on the trees, and toadstools growing on the forest floor, and I was amazed. Some of the fungi were so big that people removed them from the trees, let them dry, then painted scenery on them.
