Somehow lichens growing on the side of a fence like this look alien to me. But why shouldn't they grow that way?

Some lichens are growing in small patches on the vertical side of a wooden fence. A couple of species of fruticose oak moss branch up from the surface, like seaweed on the ocean of air. The one at the top is possibly a powdery blue green colored Evernia, the one bottom right a olive green lungwort lichen. There are small clumps of blue green shield lichens, with overlapping "scales" making them raised from the surface. The wood of the fence is covered with green algae, working hard to help decompose the fence.

On a whim, I walked up a small hillside to see the trees at the top, and look what I found!

A thick crusty tree trunk in the sun, dotted with bits of lichen, and with some tiny mushrooms growing out of a deep crack. They are small capped mushrooms with slender stems, wilted and frozen. One is frozen sideways in a way that gives us a view of the gills.

I'm super happy that it's sunny on this work-from-home day for me. I was able to skip out for a nice walk, and I can make up the work later.

A snowy path curves through a field. The sun is bright in a hazy sky, and there are bare tree silhouettes in the distance. This is an asphalt path that was cleared after one snow storm, but not after the most recent snow storm. So we can see clearly where the path is, without a single trace of asphalt. The fresh and drifted snow slope down from the plowed mounds on the sides.

A square photo. Against a blurred grey backdrop is a single branch with rag lichen covering a lot of the bark and a sprig of very pale beard lichen in the centre, most of which is slightly blurred, just a few strands in focus along with the branch itself.

I have achieved nothing today. Oh well. Not to worry. Time doing nothing is important too.

A photo with a scribbled drawing on top. The photo shows a branch crossing the frame horizontally. It is covered with different lichens and moss, with one larger beard lichen the focal point in the centre. The background is more branches, very blurred.

There are three simple figures drawn on the branch. One sits on the left, gazing thoughtfully into space, leaning against a sprig of a rag lichen. The other two are on a smaller clear branch mirroring the path of the main branch. One sits reading, nestled into the space where the small and larger branch meet. The other is lying flumped on the branch, arms and legs dangling down. — A photo with a scribbled drawing on top. The photo shows a branch crossing the frame horizontally.

After moaning about how I hadn't been able to take any photos recently the rain stopped long enough for a walk today. Found a tired and flumpy lichen.

A photo with a scribbled drawing on top. The photo is of a branch, pointing to the camera, covered in rag lichen with a big burst of pale beard lichen.The focus is tight on the beard lichen, which has eyes and pointy teeth added, the teeth resting on the branch, and arms dangling down. It looks a bit tired with. Me too lichen, me too.
