From Point Lobos again:) Ramalina menziesii, the lace lichen or fishnet, is a pale yellowish-green to grayish-green foliose lichen. It grows up to a meter long, hanging from bark and twigs in a distinctive net-like or lace-like pattern that is unlike any other lichen in North America. It becomes a deeper green when wet. This is all over the place hiking along the trailhead to the coastline. (Wikipedia). It's quite coarse to the touch but looks very soft:)

Bruce, a perfectly captured natural phenomenon.
I've read HERE that lace lichen is an important food source for deer in the Coast Range of California, and a source of nest material for birds.
Very interesting because this lichen is unknown in my part of the world, Buddy!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
