A truly good book is something as wildly natural and primitive, mysterious and marvelous, ambrosial and fertile, as a fungus or a lichen.
-Thoreau, Henry David
I adore that last shot with the snow in the crest.

They're gorgeous. And funny, I was out in the snow snapping pics of lichens today too.

Such beautiful images, so rich with winter color, so rich with texture..and we usually think of winter in our hearts as lacking both color and texture.
I love the bare trees this time of year. I do love them in all seasons, but winter in her glory gives us the beauty of their bone structure and their character.
Thank you.

I agree with Thoreau too! These images are so stunning. You have the most amazing colours in your woods. I haven't seen pinks here yet, but I keep searching.
Happy Friday to yo,

Great quote!- I wonder if the tiny pink lichens are some sort of parasite on the grey lichen ...?

loving this quote as well, what a true one ! Thanks for sharing.
thank you too for feeding my soul of beautiful lichen macros, while I miss going in nature these weeks. xoxo

So beautiful!

I had to laugh. Your lichens echo my knitting basket. Lots of soft grey with a splash of vibrant yellow. So beautiful together. I can't get over all those little oval "cups".

It makes me really want to draw these lichenscapes, wonderful !

These are awesome. i love the little splashes and pops of pink.

Beautiful! The marine invertebrate biologist in me can't help but notice the similarities to the communities of sponges and tunicates and algae etc that grow on any hard surface submerged in seawater. I wonder at their beauty but everyone else calls them "fouling organisms".

I'm thinking that you should title that last shot "Winter's Heart" and sell it in your Etsy shop!!!
I'm in line already!! 8*)

Truly beautiful! Love the bits of colors amongst the grey, the pink ones are especially surprising. I can't get over the peach and orange. Thank you!
Posted by: Novi | January 28, 2011 at 07:53 PM
I just love the little bits of hot pink.
Posted by: Jenn | January 30, 2011 at 11:36 AM
wow, margie- these are breathtaking. i'm starting to see the connections between lichen and sea-life such as coral.
Posted by: melissa | January 30, 2011 at 06:27 PM
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They are so fun and beautiful! I was just struck with an absolutely wonderful idea based on one of these.... I'll get back to you as soon as I have time to create it!
