Lichens are not the easiest of organisms to identify or take photographs of.  At this time of year however, with little vegetation and damper conditions they do stand out.  A Hawthorn tree on one of the net ride paths is covered with lichens and its red berries, make a very colourful photograph.

If conditions are just right then the water droplets caught in the cups can make beautiful subjects to photograph.  These ones had some water but not quite enough.
