Tuckermanopsis sp Lichen & Shield Lichen & Bearded Lichen

Chuckling, I pulled the camera back a little to give more of a habitat shot. A matter of inches gives a whole different perspective on lichens. The design that these multiple species make is outstanding. A Tuckermanopsis species in the center gave a brown-yellow eye focus point, surrounded by tight to-the-branch lobes of shield lichen, and then strands of beard lichen above and below framed the entire scene. Dachner Keltner (Awe: The new science of everyday wonder and how it can transform your life) considers art and nature two of the eight wonders of life. Here they were!
