Fifty Two weeks in nature… a series of photos each week to show what our nature looks like. For those who are participating, thank you… it’s been amazing to see how different the seasons are from place to place… and how beautiful.
Week 14 / 52
A study in Lichen this week… a whole universe on a tree.
I hope you’ll participate in 52 Weeks in Nature and leave a link to your site in the comments below so that we can all see the beauty you have found.

Beautiful. I love this micro world. Here is my post http://sibylnutmeg.co.uk/week-14-52-weeks-nature/
Wonderful textures!
Cool! I only recently learned about how complex and varied lichen are. They are kind of my new obsession, though I’m not sure how good I am at spotting them. Supposedly some trees, which people think are constantly peeling, are actually “peeling” lichen not bark. I planted British Soldiers in our terrarium and have been very happy with how they are doing. I’m not sure if they will reproduce, I’m realizing that I need to look up how lichen reproduce…. Anyway, we had a bunny visit us this week and my daughter has been very caught up in watching for it every day. http://www.bluebellsandcockleshells.com/2014/04/52-weeks-in-nature-week-14-our-happy.html BTW, she wanted to know where your rabbit photo was taken. Is it a pet rabbit?
I love lichens and moss – like I said in my previous post, they’re almost like an entirely alien world in miniature! I’m ever so late joining in with last weeks 52 Weeks (it’s been rather busy!) But here it is: http://ninnynoodlenoo.com/52-weeks-in-nature-week-14/
I already have the photos to edit for week 15 – just need to catch up on myself!
