Apart from the longest title in the world (slight exaggeration?) the title doesn’t fill one full of exciting promise – but, there is much beauty and interest to be found in such a place. It may not be a beautiful flower in full bloom or a glorious sunset or a lush, verdant, field but it can still be lovely.
Lichen takes on a rich colour when wet – as does wood and rust.
Lets not forget less obvious beauty – in Nature and in people – when out and about.
unique!

Many thanks, Scott! What a great word: ‘wonderfulness’! The little buds fascinate me (top left-ish). I can’t think where they are from.

You’re very welcome…and I really like that word, too! I’m at a loss for those buds, as well…I’m not much of an expert on those kinds of things. š

Finding the less obvious beauty in our world is a great idea, maybe even a goal for the new year! Thanks.

The content is much more pleasing than your title led me to believe, and your sentiment is totally laudable. As you well know, I’ve been a lichen fan for quite a while, and you’ve found some nice ones here!

Thank you, Gary! I played it down a bit; ‘soggy bits’ doesn’t sound enticing or exciting, does it?! I hadn’t photographed lichen for a while but intend to make up for it this year!
