Back in the land of Big Lichen 🤠 (Orkney)

#lichensubscribe #orkney #scotland

A closer look at the corner of an old and low dry-stone building, perhaps intended as a barn or a tattie hoose. Now it’s growing a thick crop of hairy-looking green-grey lichen. It may or may not be ramalina farinacea; I don’t know much about lichen. It seems to love the Orkney coast.

The horizon is fuzzy with sea fog.

For 15 years, an old, no longer used chopping block has been lying untouched behind our garden fence at the edge of the forest.
Today, I took another look at it and snapped a few quick photos. What I found was impressive:
Various mosses and a great variety of different lichens of the genus Cladonia, such as Reindeer, British Soldier, Trumpet, Mealy Pixie Cup, Organ Pipe, Powderhorn, Pyxidata lichen and more... just nature.

@wambuimnd You'll probably get a lot of people chiming in with this suggestion, but follow hashtags along with people. There are some really fun ones out there and it can help fill your feed with neat stuff before you follow a lot of people. I follow #BikeTooter (riding a bike, both for serious cyclists and those of us who consider a bike a form of transportation rather than just a hobby) & #CarryShitOlympics (for people who move stuff by bike that others would use a car for).

If you like nature photos there are a bunch such as #Mosstodon#LichenSubscribe and #ThickTrunkThursday.

There are also more than a few communal activities on here (some are synchronous, some asynchronous) which is a great way to meet people: #Monsterdon (sunday night "monster" B-movie watch party) #QueerRomanceClub (queer book club, reads one book a month), #BikeNite (people ask bike questions everything from the basics to super technical stuff and are very friendly to encouraging new riders), (there is also a video game club that does a game a month, but I can't recall the hashtag)
