Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Rhizoplaca melanophthalma

A photo I needed to add to my SE Alberta trip album. Wish I was able to ID Lichens, but eventually I will be able to get the names from the two friends I went with on the road trip. I know the red Lichen proved to be of interest to them. I wonder how many people take a closer look at the splashes of colour on rocks - lichens really are quite fascinating and beautiful : ) Taken on 23 September 2013, down one of the coulees at Red Rock Coulee. ID, thanks to Janet Marsh and Sandra Davis: Parasite Caloplaca epithallina on crust lichen & Rhizoplaca melanophthalma.
