Lichens Flashback

My post on the cemetery yesterday took me back 3 years to some photos of lichens I took in the last months when I could still walk.  And to some great photos of leaves last fall, when we were there on a sunny day about a week earlier in the season.  When I think of photographs that are actually good, these are among the few I think of since moving to Meaford.

The leaves were glowing almost fluorescent in the sun last year.

Surprisingly, oly a few tombstones have any interesting lichens.  Must be related to the type of stone used.

The big old maples are another story.  It took a lot of years for the lichens to achieve this!

  3. Wow, that's a real pop of colour from those leaves; wish we had something similar here. I'm always fascinated by lichens on gravestones.

  4. That first photo is quite beautiful. The old tree covered in lichen is my favourite.

  6. Glorious oranges, and the green lichens are lovely. lots of snow there, have you had much so far? I saw that some quite good falls in Colorado have reduced a little the fires that are devastating.

  9. I've seen tombstones with lichens on them like that but I don't think I've seen a tree like that before. That tree is right out of a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings movie. So great we get to see our Autumn colors each year.
