I LIKE LICHENS.


 I really do like lichens (pronounced LIKE-nz).  I came across this arrangement by Mother Nature yesterday in the park.

I had to look up lichens to learn more, and here is what I found:  Lichens are a complex life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an alga. The dominant partner is the fungus, which gives the lichen the majority of its characteristics, from its thallus shape to its fruiting bodies."

They come  in many colors, too!

A BIT OF PROVENCE

 No, I am not in Provence....but wish I were.  This is some lavender which thrives in a nearby park. I love the scent.
