Hot Summer Greys

Underfoot the lichen are crispy crunchy

Even tree bark looks drier than usual

Must be cooler up there

Down here on land stitches are gathering

on my goosey piece.

Rusty Inspirations

Four legged explorers....

Rusty resurfacing of deadwood.

More deadwood...not so rusty...but inspiring all the same.

Meandering insect trails of a hidden life beneath tree bark.

I see stitching lines.

Firewood Lichen

Lichen manages to grow in the unfriendliest of environments.

Even on our firewood.
