Not Lichen

I went to Swineside today to photograph lichen on a sheep fold that really does have some good examples on it.  So twenty minutes each way in the car, followed by half an hour each way of brisk walking.  I spent an hour and a half taking pictures in sets of ten with the macro lens, then an hour and a half at the PC focus-stacking in Photoshop.  And I haven't one picture I am happy with.  Right, that's the moaning out of the way.

On the way there I spotted this cotton grass on Mosedale Moss.  Good thing I stopped to photograph it or I'd have been stuck with a bunch of dusty old not-quite-all-in-focus lichen.  Put up a snipe too.

It looks so much better large.
