Look Ma! No trees!!

While working in the Allegheny National Forest, we ran across a big rock which had some very cool lichens growing on its surface. They definitely remind me of raindrop splashes and I figured this would be a great subject for the macro function on my government camera. Pretty cool stuff.

This pic includes some mossy stuff and that provides a nice contrast to the rock and the nearly psychiatric blobs of lichens. Again, nature provides many interesting and beautiful things to find out in our forests.
