Devil's Orchard Trail
One of the walks the signs focused on the lichen growing. Being that
lichen gets it's nutrients from the atmosphere this is a good barometer of
the air quality. Well the lichen isn't doing so good of late. There used
to be a lot more back in the 50's. As remote as Craters of the Moon is
the air quality is still bad enough to affect the lichen.
A bench, some shade, I'll take that.
I sat there thinking sad lichen thoughts.
I continued on my way and this little butterfly made me think of better things.
Then towards the end of the walk I notice where a little bunny left his
mark in the fresh cement soon after it was poured.
And I was smiling again.

According to Mr.Trump it is all fake news. There is no climate problem. Probably not on his golf fields, maybe he should take a walk in the mountains....
sad lichen thoughts...
I did not know that. I have never heard of lichens until now, but I feel a sense of kinship. It's funny that they get their nutrients from the atmosphere around them, just like us. Thank God for butterflies and bunnies.
I looked up lichens via the all-knowing internet. Well, it's a very complicated organism of algae living in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with fungi. Fascinating.
Sobering to see the lichen struggling out in the wilderness. I do like your bunny prints!
