Common Antler Lichen
Common Antler Lichen
Found while out birding.
VERY similar to Common Oak Lichen which grows here, but in France this is collected commercially for fragrances that are used in perfumes.
Winter Sculpture
Seed-head under snow
As well as benefiting birds by providing seeds for food, leaving seed-heads to stand through the winter enables snow to form delightful “sculptures” for us to enjoy. A few months ago this was an inflorescence on a wild, carrot plant that was abuzz with insects.
