I have always seen dried Lichen. This is a first. Wonderful image.. thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Yeah, I often find it on the ground, not on a plant.
I haven't seen anything like this before. Not even in pictures. So glad you shared else I wouldn't have know. Thanks for sharing, Siobhan. This is so unique.
I hope to see you on the 28th!
Thanks, Parul! I'll try to find a photo for Thursday.

Yes, they are! Thanks.

You are welcome! Just another one of Mother Nature's wonders.
