Licken like you may have seen before...


 But have you seen it growing on rusty old machinery?  


I know this is not a good photo...but it does show how the lichen is just growing everywhere.  Patton's corner has all kinds of old farm implements, tools, etc.  Almost all the ones sitting in the open are covered with lichen.

Oh my gosh, the first photo is amazing! I bet it even shows the actual spores! Nature's weird and spooky art.

I've never seen lichen like in the first picture, and I know about rust on old machinery but didn't know about the lichen. Wow!

Bill said...

Great captures! We have lichen, but it sometimes is hard to spot with all the moss...

Hootin Anni said...

Hmmmm, you'd think it'd need a porous surface!

I like both these images - there is something about the passage of time and the growing of mosses... YAM xx

I find that first photo simply fascinating. I like the second as well. There's something about old machinery that draws me in.

Wow! What an interesting find! In the first photo, it looked like lichen from the seashore until the wider view showed it was in the heartland.

Ruthie said...

How interesting that close up view is. SUch shapes and patterns!

don said...

That level of lichen is new to me. Fine pictures of this unstopable curse.

that is a lots of lichen Rose... i have a lot of it on the rocks down by the shore... but nothing like this... i thought that nature would have reclaimed the farm tools... but i didn't think that it would be lichen....peter:)

That is very interesting . I have seen it grow on trees and rocks, but not on metal.

Interesting to see on the rust. We have lots of lichen on the trees.

Lichens are incredible things. I think they are nice shots.

harry said...

I like the patterns of the growth in the top one; the overall view is worth seeing as well

This is so interesting! I have only seen it growing on trees. The color up image is beautiful! I love the colors and textures.

I especially like the close up photo. I have never seen lichen like that.

Así es Rose. La falta de uso lo crea siempre.
Cuídate,. Un abrazo.
