Description

These Xanthoria lichens completely coat the shrubs at the top of the steps down to Boscome Pier. They are a pollution tolerant species, and must also be salt tolerant in this location! It is definitely worth looking at a close-up Here

Lichens make for an attractive display but this brings to mind one of those bad Sci-Fi movies where the threat from outer space has taken over. You know, "Resistance is futile. You will be absorbed!" This is a terrific image. Great color, light and clarity.

the Flickr closeup is awesome! I love these lichens that put out the little cup like, what, blooms? or do they contain spores and leave these little cup like thingies behind? Wonderful capture!!

Great captures, both! at times I think of them as an alien life form just by their appearance

Splendid shot of a species of growth I would never be able to recognize without a guide or a floral manual, Andrea.

An exquisite capture and zoom my friend. I haven't seen lichen this gorgeous since my hiking days in the Olympic National Park, in the US state of Washington. So lush and bountiful!
