I Like Lichen

.
It is liken to none other.

Lichen is not really a moss, it'll grow on rocks, dead branches and on live tree trunks. The reason I like it, is its color. My favorite shade of greenish blue.

The color seams to blend with any artist's theme. It highlights any surrounding hue and dramatically adds to the depths of shadows.


Lichen adds a splash, a piece of adornment to an otherwise drab tree trunk.




Sometimes it is splattered all around the tree, kind of a tattered lace vying for space with the growing moss.



Tree moss likes the damp and dark side of the tree trunk. If you are ever lost in the woods, with no help from a shining sun, look for moss on the trees. Take a consensus of several findings and you may be sure the side the moss is on will show you where North is.


What good is all this information if you don't know where you came from. And for that matter if you don't care where you're going.

Hey man! . . . pull them ear buds out of your ears and enjoy the simplicity of life.
                            STILLNESS REALLY ROCKS!
