Abstracted

The highlight of a day in an ancient forest was the discovery of this lichen. Surrounded by moist black organic soil and fallen needles, it was the star of the show. It was growing from an almost buried fallen tree that provided yet another texture to the scene. Capturing both the essence and the reality of this fragile beauty was a challenge!
When choosing a photo to use for our work, Judi MacLeod and I independently selected a photo of this same species from our personal photo collections - a meeting of minds.
