I recently learned that lichens are an indicator species of sorts. Apparently they don't hold up well in polluted air. It was nice to learn this because it adds a new meaning to the variety of patterns and colors I see on my daily walks. Fuzzy, soft, organic, form-fitting: Lichen. This specimen, in Couch Park on NW Glisan, reminds me of a couture dress.

apparently I don't know how to properly post comments...anyway...I like lichen too. Especially in this photo. It looks so soft to touch. I haven't really seen much lichen, or moss, or anything of the sort here in Texas. Maybe it's just too dry for that sort of thing.
i want to wear that dress.
