Some cute #mosses on my afternoon walk today. Love how #moss and #lichen cohabitates so happily together. Makes little mosaics on stone, branches, and the trunks of trees.

Got lost in a new set of photos today, with small amounts of Useful Stuff in breaks. That is the wrong way round.

*gives self stern talking to*

Right. Off to be useful.

A photo of a big ball of pale green lichen on a branch that cuts horizontally against the screen. It is lit by the sunshine, and the sky is blue behind. I have drawn eyes, a big open toothy mouth, upturned arms and wee legs as if it's jumping on to the lichen ball. It started off as a happy thing, then started to look a bit fierce, so it could be read either way, but I think the overriding impression is RARRRRR!

I walk by this one fence all the time, and no matter the weather, the yellow-green lichen just pierces my eyes. I’ve never seen such day-glow fluorescence on a natural object before. A photo doesn’t quite capture the intensity of it, but here’s one (with no color adjustments).

Very bright yellow-green lichen with a cracked texture shown up close

RE: https://mastodon.social/@tippitiwichet/110816653297978907

I posted a looping gif of an oyster mushroom releasing its spores and a lot of people liked it, so I thought I'd mention I put up the original unedited footage in 4k on my YouTube.

This photo reportage is genuine, created in a real Homo sapiens brain, and produced without any AI rubbish: an #expedition to a distant #planet where strong evidence of life had been found: the planet Elder 0815, part of the famous Mosslich-system. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/d242349d-fa59-4af8-a834-c93d580a4039

Yesterday I posted some #moss pictures from my lunchtime walk; that's currently the most-boosted toot I've had on Mastodon!

So here's some more - same walk, different bits of #mosses, #lichens, and #frosty leaves. Enjoy.

Love going outside right after it rains. All the little critters come out to explore!

Met two friends today, a #caterpillar and a #PotatoBug.

Relatively, we're all small.

Here are some more photos from the backlog from my recent visit to Washington and Oregon.

Starting with some #LichenSubscribe

A lichen and moss covered twig on a gravel path. The moss is fluffy and green. The lichens are yellowish, with some cup shapes

A monochrome lichen growing flat over the side of a large rock. It's white-gray with darker gray spots. It looks almost metallic.

A weathered pole with a metal cap. It has been cut into a point at the top, and the tree rings have separated with age, leaving a kind of topographic map, with dark green and light gray lichens.

Daily doodle 156. Barely had time to sit down this weekend, but I did get to look at this dead tree for a while.

Sketchbook drawing of a dead tree, possibly a spruce, leaning on another tree. Its branches are dry, broken or some sawed off, its bark covered in frilly lichen, and usnea (beard lichen) hanging from some branches.

Yellow lichen and pale gray or maybe off white lichen growing together on a dark gray rock. The gray one has a few round fruiting bodies, one of which has a bit of yellow either fallen or growing into it.

Cinnamon Bear
Uncompahgre National Forest, CO

I was sitting in my camp chair with my long lens hoping for some pretty birds to pose for photos when I caught movement up the small valley. Very excited when this bear ambled by as I'd only ever gotten brief glimpses while driving.

He wasn't very concerned about me, but did look over from time to time as he was foraging along the ground. I got lots of photos, but this was the most "artistic." Only later remembered I could have taken video. D'oh!

Cinnamon bear is a subspecies of the American black bear and not aggressive like grizzlies, or nearly as large.
