The Bearded One!

I think the real name for this one is:
Usnea articulata - more commonly known as beard or hair lichens.

Here is a link if you are interested:
British Lichens

If you had told me I would become an 'expert' in British Lichen, I would have laughed - it just shows what Blipfoto can do! Hmmmm...perhaps I need to get out a bit more or stop avoiding real work!



Probably both to be honest!

Three beautiful things:

The robin perched on top of the football in the garden - very happily surveying the ground for food!

The birdsong during this morning's walk.

Having the 'cold cobwebs' blown away - during our lunchtime walk! We also got soaked by a storm coming in from the moors - I was too busy trying to photograph a daisy!

One thing to be grateful for;

I was finally focused enough to get some school work done! I will be quite relieved to get back into some sort of routine - am beginning to lose track of time and days!

I forgot to share the Inspirational thought for January from my calender - here it is:

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Mother Theresa

I think this sums up Blipfoto quite perfectly - don't you? I have been really touched by the kind and thoughtful words on my own and other journals, and I know that this is partly why I visit everyday.
