        We have so many different sizes, shapes, and colors of lichens (I think that's what they are called), I've been taking lots of pics of different ones to see what I can do with them. As usual my Nikon Coolpix P600 fixed lens. Yes, Rolf no tripod. I promise to practice......

Excellent captures - well taken.

You are progressing nicely!! Put a diffuser on the flash, a piece of kitchen roll will suffice. Ed.

Nice shots czkid. Just for your interest they are Trametes, a genus in the Fungi kingdom; very common but nevertheless attractive for their colour banding. I see them particularly associated with fallen birch trees, stumps and felled birch logs.
