Thus it was that I took a little walk across the snowy pasture opposite my home, my own little Lichenville having seen an early sundown thanks to a large cedar stump on its close horizon. In visiting the larger metropolis of Central Lobaria, I was able to find these sun-dappled and brilliantly green specimens waiting for my lens. I am sorry to say that the areas outlying this core of population are suffering a bit from cold at the moment, and while their brown colors are still attractive, they were not quite suitable for presentation. As the season turns to spring, they will again present their best faces for the Lichen Fan Club's admiring eyes.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Yay for the Lichen Fan Club! I learn so much from your posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to know the lichens have such a wide-spread following! They're fascinating! I wish I knew more about them.
