Thriving

Tuesday, June 27, 2023

I was watering a hanging basket of flowers when out popped a worried frog’s head. I would have liked to see more of the pretty creature, but appreciating its presence didn’t do more disturbing.

Moments later, another critter appeared, seeming completely relaxed and making me wonder if it could or would hunt. But western lizards are quick in action, and most likely, this dozer was at the ready.

Then there’s nature itself, providing beautiful sightings. It’s anybody’s guess as to how long this variety of Parmeliaceae lichen has lived and thrived on these branches as a plant life. It couldn’t be prettier.

By the way, these are lichen among a massive family of 2700 varieties that can flourish anywhere. They thrive in a multitude of climates ranging from the Artic to the Rainforest.

Dear Friends: Have a lovely day. Diana
