These are lichens growing on the Japanese Maple tree in my front yard.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!

Interesting! Nice captures and I think I have seen this before or even know what lichen is. Is it harmful to the tree?

No. It is a combination of alga and fungus and it mostly gets its nutrients from air and rainfall.

Lichen on dogwood trees in the south can really be interesting. Good capture.

you really grabbed some detail and caught the color so well (and reminds me I have lichen photo sitting in a draft folder – perhaps someday I will get to it)
