      I wanted to, but it was soggy wet. Way too much rain this year. Posted 6 years ago

          Any closeups of this Cladonia usually results in wet knees and elbows... for sure! A lot of it here as well. Posted 6 years ago

            Gary, I definitely did get some wet knees, but it isn't rare for me to do so (with all of the mushies and plants I photograph). :D I don't mind at all. Posted 6 years ago

              We could, perhaps, start a “wet knees and elbows club”. Truth be told, when I first saw your photo I thought you’d been walking around my back yard.
              Lichen Covered Rocks The majority of the lichens seen in this photo are either Cladonia mitis or C. rangiferina. The lichens are soggy and footing is a little tricky. Canada,Geotagged,Winter
