On the branch

 


I thought that the duality of lichen and emerging blossom on the branch made a pretty Spring statement.

Mr GBT took the photo as my dear little camera can't manage such a feat at that distance nor height. We have been out National Trusting. More tomorrow.

    I thought for sure you would say that was frost. The effect is very beautiful though. Does the lichen eventually kill the tree?

      Hi Debby. The lichens are non parasitic and are a sign of a healthy atmosphere. Arilx

    Frustrated line-and-wash watercolourist that I am, I view Mr GBT's photo as worthy of framing. Imagine what Beatrix Potter could have made of it, as an image and as a backdrop for a story!

      I like the sharp colours against the greyish green tones of the lichen. Arilx

    Seeing all the colors pop-in other places sooner than my home area, is a great boost to my energy, mental health, and just overall well being. I can't complain about rain, as with each rain shower, more color seems to follow.

      I look forwards to seeing what's happening where you are flower wise in the weeks/months to come. Arilx
