I'm not sure of the species here, but it's the first time I've seen guttation, and it's a stack that worked, which is always something to celebrate. Nine Ladies Stone Circle, Oct 2024

My favourite Fuscidea cyathoides stone, Cnoc Fola, Donegal.

I've photographed this stone for three years in a row. I keep meaning to put together a stop motion animation of the lichens!

More crustose mosaic lichens growing on the top of Cnoc Fola (Bloody Foreland). Likely to be Fuscidea cyathoides (many thanks to Di Napier fo the ID!)

Some lovely crustose lichens, growing on the top of Cnoc Fola (Bloody Foreland), an exposed hill on the North Western tip of the most north Western County of Eire, blasted by the wild Atlantic winds.

Kinoulton, February 2023.

I think it's Xanthoria parietina, but always happy to be corrected 🙏
One of my first ever focus stacks that worked 🥞

Another focus-stacked vs unstacked lichen at Curransport, Donegal. Again I'm not sure of ID...

Here's a couple of focus-stacked vs unstacked crustose lichens on the beach at Curransport, Donegal. Not sure of ID, I would be happy find out if anyone knows 😊

The old TV is still on the beach at Curransport, a year later. I suspect it has been there many years...

I reckon I could take photos of Barnacles all day. As long as I had a packed lunch with me 🥪
