Description
Back from vacation and it was great fun except for the no laptop rule. I will never do that again. I did take an introduction to FaceBook class one night and I am certainly not ready for social networking yet. LOL!
This photo was taken, a few years ago, in the Cypress Swamp section, of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (147,392 acres - about 596 square KMs), west of Boynton Beach, Florida. Crustose Lichen, like all lichens, is the cross between alga and fungus. My camera also died and is out to be checked and cleaned. I do not know if there are any salvageable photos in there yet. You might have heard my screams. I will start catching up on comments tonight! It is worth a zoom!
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

welcome back Dana, bet your vay cay was awesome, you missed alot in colorado, the forest fires destroyed 346 houses in my city about ten days ago or so now. and a big bummer about the camera, i know how you feel, i don't have one anymore, my last one took a dive.. cool shot of the lichen.
So that's what those faint agonised noises were on the wind from the Atlantic! Superb pic!
Nice to have you back Dana - one Dana goes and another returns!! Zoom really does bring out the best in this shot.
great photo Dana Sorry to hear about your camera - hopefully it is repairable
Cool image!
Fantastic details dear Dana, amazing shot as usual, superb work!
Superb photo, ichens are very interesting!
beautiful!! welcome back!!
Welcome back, glad you enjoyed. Facebook has me flummoxed :o)
Welcome back! :) Wonderful find and capture!
Superb and accurate shot, Dana !
Glad you are back in the land of the living Dana, sorry to hear about your camera with a bit of luck any pictures should still be on the flash card and as for Face book I'm like you can't get into it although my wife is into it. The lichen looks great in zoom nice shot.
BEAUTIFUL LICHEN
this is wonderful
Welcome, Dana. I,m sorry for your camera, I hope you can save it!Some of these electronic devices refuse to die without a fight. My son left a USB in his pants. These were washed, dried and ironed, and the USB survived.
Dana this is a great capture. I noticed that we are facebook friends now, but don't hold your breath as to me making comments on this site. It seems to me that they encourage you to make friends with just about anybody (it doesn't mean you Dana). But if one isn't careful one winds up with hundreds of friends. I don't have that many friends, and I don't want that many. The people I consider my friends I either see in person, talk to them on the phone, and maybe on this site. I don't feel save disclosing too many details on facebook.
Wow, lichen is strange enough even without it being snow white, Dana. Great snap, and welcome back from up north. Sorry about your camera woes, and can hardly wait for you to start commenting again. Oh, and Facebook is a trap.
Glad to learn that you had a good trip in N.H.Too bad about your camera,however.That shot of the crusty lichen is cool.
Wonderful capture with beautiful textures Dana!!
Brilliant capture, dear Dana. So glad you enjoyed your vacation. Hugs for all day. Di. xx
This is some awesome stuff and glad u had some fun and as far as facebook goes i totally hate it and my computer hates it also says there is viruses in it so i stay off of it.
I love this one, great shot and welcome back!
Great capture! I'm sure sorry to hear about your camera! I hope all of your priceless pictures will be safe!
A very special color is on this Lichen, Dana! Most fantastic seen in zoom. I hope your camera will be repaired!!!
Wonderful and interesting photoshot Dana, love it.
Rarely seen! Love it
Facebook...what's that? And let's see...they don't allow lap tops but have a internet class on Faceboook...Hmmm A most textured shot! Glad you enjoyed and are back safe!
That would be hard for me to do, but perhaps I should. Hope your camera is okay! There are worse things around than FaceBook, and it does work well for some things. You must learn to ignore lots of it, and be selective in accepting friend requests because you will wind up reading much of their trivia. Let me know when you are on FB and I'll send you a FR, LOL!
When we were a t hidden valley lake last fall I saw alot of trees with these on them. :)))) They make a most interesting subject to capture. :)))) Most excellent capture. :)))))) Thank you for sharing. :))))))) I am glad you had fun but sorry about the no laptop rule. :)) I don't know if I could do a vacation without a computer. LOL!!!! Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))) Welcome back my friend. :))))
Looks like old crusty paint. Mother nature is so creative in the varied ways she makes these fungi and lichens. Wonderful to find yet another I've never seen. :) Thanks.
