Keith Burton's photos with the keyword: lichen

It has been far too wet and windy lately to try macro photography outdoors, but I found this twig on the ground near my house and took it home to photograph. There are 3 more images in the PiPs if you want to have a look. All taken using an LED panel for lighting and a piece of green card as a background. My thanks to Günter Klaus for giving me the idea to take these photos after seeing his at: www.ipernity.com/doc/guenter.klaus/52324154

Nature's artwork.......textures and colour! Best viewed large I think.

Captured on a church wall in Petersfield, Hampshire. I think I've pretty much caught up on all your photos. My apologies for over use of the yellow stars, but I couldn't possibly have commented on all of them. It seems like everyone has been taking lots of photos over the past week or so................unlike me, as I took very few photos while I was away! For those who were kind enough to ask..........I had a lovely week with my youngest daughter and my grandchildren. For various reasons we didn't get out much - but that didn't matter :-)

Taken in my local cemetery.

Taken on Skokholm Island, Wales

Happy Fence Friday everyone :-))

Just quick post (sorry, couldn't resist) before I go to work. Have a great weekend folks whatever you are up to..!!

With apologies to Edvard Munch. Please view large, on black.

Taken in Bosham Hoe. There is a huge house there surrounded by beautiful stone walls with grass growing on the top.

Another one from Hayling Island.

aka Sea Thrift, Sea Cushion and Sea Pink. Taken on Hayling Island. I thought they looked quite good alongside this post with lichen growing on it.

I'm working all weekend, but I hope you all have a good 'un (says he through gritted teeth lol)!

Taken on the towpath along the Chichester Canal.

Spotted this unusual lichen on the branch of a tree and thought it was pretty cool! A quick Google reveals that this one is commonly called "Oakmoss" or less commonly, "Evernia Prunastri". Still more Googling turned up a recipe for "Crispy lichen seasoned with dried egg yolk, lightly smoked fish and soured garlic cream" but I think I'll be giving that a miss!!!
