The snow has started to recede and more of the beautiful landscape can be seen.
Check out the first two pictures. The first picture is of a lichen forest engulfing a rock. Without discussing this topic in class I would have never noticed it. The second picture is again a patch of lichen on a rock formation. I liked this example due to the bright coloration of the lichen.
The third picture is of a stand of birch trees. Check out the shoots that are sprouting from the base of them. As we learned in class, birch trees love to sprout that way if not maintained by human hands.
I feel like this post is much more Sciencey than my first post. Yay me!
Thanks for checking this out.
I love seeing this kinda of stuff. It reminds me that Spring is right around the corner. One of my favorite things is seeing the new buds on trees and plants! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more of it soon!!
ReplyDeletegood stuff I like how your bringing the stuff from lecture to life . just think too in a couple of months all that is going to look a little bit different.
ReplyDeletegreat pictures and the snow is staring to melt which is great and we can begin to see lil more life and less white (i love the snow but we've had enough) looking forward for more pictures
ReplyDeleteAh, sciency stuff. Lichens are remarkable truly. Almost completely impervious to the harsh winters. Have you ever looked up how long a lichen can live? Crazy. Check it out, if you're feeling science again sometime.
