Macro Monday

I just got back from a weekend trip to Oregon.  During our drive we saw whole stands of trees covered in lichen.  I finally had an opportunity to pull over, at a rest stop and get a photo.  Below is a broader view of this tree.

 Now go visit Lisa, to see who else played Macro Monday, today.

Go take more photos,

    When I first looked at the pic I thought it was dried oak leaves. Then I thought it was a squirrels nest that had been destroyed by a storm. Really interesting.

    You got great shots of the lichen, Jan. I have tried unsuccessfully to take similar photos of lichen in cottage country north of where I live.

    Great shots, I wonder if it harms the trees.
