Likin’ Lichens on Monhegan Island, Maine

 At every stop I make on my travels I seem to find something odd strange and curious that becomes a highlight of that visit. On my most recent visit to Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine it was lichens. I was struck by their hardiness and subtly colored beauty. As a bonus I am aware that lichens are susceptible to air pollution so their hardiness is a tell tail sign of fresh air. 

This picture was of my first sight of a lichen covered wall on the island.

I found the next scene especially attractive with the day lilies complementing the lichen. What a wonderful sight to come back home to!
