Colors of the dunes - yes from a distance it looks like all sand, pines, and oaks, but up close we have a wonderful world of enchantment.

This is trying hard to look part-, part-human! 😂 Check out the thick (legs/arms/tentacles?) draped over the large boulder, like the tree is sitting up. Passed this while last week in the White , .

You know lichens are out there, right? Algae and fungi - two entirely separate kingdoms of life! - living weird, entangled mutually beneficial lives on all manner of surfaces, no doubt plotting something both beautiful and nefarious. What a world.

Whatever you like... a butterfly, a wild meadow, a dragonfly, lichens, and moss of today.

Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy these views of some of the amazing formations that I passed while last week on a mountain ridge in the White , . The dense valley fog can be seen in the background of one pic before it lifted. Franconia Ridge. -

Photo of large sloping rock structure at mid range. Dense fog makes up entire background. Greens trees in foreground.
Photo of green mossy rock structure protruding like a human face looking to the left. Brown boulders in foreground, green forested valley in background. Skies are cloudy.

THE SETUP v. THE SHOT (low-res)

One of the photos resulting from th One of THE SHOTs from THE SETUP above. The subject is revealed to be a tangle of lichens and moss, hidi g the rotting wood which is their substrate.

My photo of the day, a White-crowned sparrow on a rock with various lichens.

This flowering cherry was planted in 1974, so it's 50+ years old this Spring.

There's quite a collection of colorful lichen and/or fungus on this tree - please forgive the blurry red one! The yellow one failed to pass editorial muster altogether, alas. (will try again on another day)


Fruiting bodies rising from this moss nestled into the top of a pale blue green lichen
Not as crisp as I would have liked but this photo of a bright red lichen or fungus
Two deeply cut holes in one of the cherry tree branches lead me to believe this is woodpecker work. Below the two holes are some pale blue gray lichen

The broken head of this tombstone must have lain face down in the grass for years before someone reunited it with its base - the difference in erosion and lichen growth is almost as striking as the artwork.

Found this apparently completely dried piece of lichen on a rock, scattered by black bears when foraging.
I took it home, watered it all over, and put it in a small cup.
The second photo, taken 24 hours after watering, shows how quickly lichens and mosses recover after a rain.

Repost from previous server

A small piece of refreshed lichens and moss in light green, green and brown.

Aller c'est parti pour un ⬇️ , et la thématique qui m'anime actuellement c'est la fabrication d'une structure de en ! Un projet un peu foufou, dont je ne sais pas sur quoi il aboutira, mais ça me plait bien d'expérimenter, et de partager ça avec vous.
L'objectif, si j'y arrive, ce serait dans un premier temps de me faire une serre à plants, donc une surface relativement modeste (< 50 m2).

Vu que j'ai toujours pas reçu ma de (😡 grrrr), j'ai récupéré un vieux bout de bâche d'un de mes maîtres de stage.
Cette bâche a 14 ans et il s'est décidé à la changer. Elle n'a pas été nettoyée ces 2 dernières années et était donc assez sale avec pas mal d' et de dessus.
Je l'ai nettoyée au brosse et elle est (presque) comme neuve. J'ai donc enfin un bout de serre couverte.
Elle est maintenue dans une par des sacs remplis de .

La bâche (qui fait 30 m de long par 2,5m de large) a été en partie nettoyée et posée sur ma structure de serre en bambou, de sorte qu'elle en couvre une extrémité (2,5 m / 6m de sa longueur totale), le reste de la bâche n'a pas été coupée et est donc posée au sol à côté de la serre. Des sacs violets (qui ont contenu de l'engrais) ont été remplis de terre et servent à lester la bâche et à la maintenir.
Gros plan sur la petite tranchée au pied de la serre où sera calée la bâche avec mes sacs de leste dessus.
