I've been collecting too many lichen photos, so here's a small photo dump of a few of them. I find the flat ones just as interesting as the curly ones, and they're all the more interesting the closer you look.
That last one was an alpine forest species, and much larger than the others
If you love Morel mushrooms, May is the month to search for these delicacies of nature especially in deciduous woods, around Trilliums or other spring flowers or in old orchards. You know it is a real Morel if you slice it and it has a hollow interior, beware the false ones as they can make you sick!

Adding my contribution to all the amazing images from the auroras last night. I had seen auroras over the years but never anything like this. At times, the entire sky was glowing and dancing, from the zenith to the horizon on 360 degrees!
Timelapse of 6s images, 14 mm, f/4, iso 1600. Processed with #DarkTable & assembled with #ffmpeg.
Also, BIG #gratitude for my apartment, which lets me see 2 kinds of #CherryBlossoms out back & #city beauty out front even if I'm not well enough to go out 🙌🏽
For this #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to the wonderful Nature, which consistently offers us breathtaking spectacles, whether in the form of lights, colors, scents, or sounds.
