I found a very good stick in the driveway today. 1/

Pretty sure this is from one of the Oaks (California Black or Coast Live.) I don't often see such a variety of lichens on our California Bay Laurel neighbors, and the geometry of the stick feels oakish to me. 2/

This stick is a garden. 3/

I wonder about the interactions between lichen species... 4/

Competitors? Collaborators? Or something else? 5/

There are tiny treasures everywhere, just waiting to be discovered and appreciated. 6/6
