I really like your fascination with lichens, Gary! They easy to overlook, hard to identify and very beautiful. Every single observation of these obscure species is very valuable. Posted 6 years ago

  Thank you, Ferdy. I am lucky enough to have quite a variety of lichens close at hand. And, yes, identification is not the easiest but they are attractive, well, to me! Posted 6 years ago
