Catching the sun

No, I never run out of Lichen shots. Never.

I shoot them every time I see them. With macro lens all I need is a small group of them preferably in some well lit spot. All the details that the camera and lens can catch is unbelievable and I am not even that good in macro.

Those tiny things are less than 1cm in height - and that's the biggest ones, and a few mm in diameter.

The moss that was growing together with the Lichens looked like street lamps, especially when the sun was shining directly at the maturing spore capsules.

It is a tiny, tiny world that would not pay much attention too if I didn't have my camera with me.
They definitely didn't pay much attention to me. Camera or no camera :p

All that little world on the side of the park path. Shadow from the trees and bushes, some pile of soil and decomposing plants.
And we get some happy campers there.

Don't you just wanna shoot them all?
They are all different...
I am not crazy

I said I am not crazy!
