Awake to birdsong…it’s idiotically early, light only just beginning to seep into the margins of the sky, but I don’t mind a bit! After the darkness of winter, I’ll take every suggestion of light possible!
Wishing you a lovely day, dear early birds (human and winged!)

Photo of an off-white lichen. One section of the lichen looks like brain. The rest looks like frilly leaves. Five large, orange apothecia are visible on the lichen. The lichen is growing on grey rock and on other (crustose) lichens.
