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.

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