As I was hoping, with today’s ongoing rain, the green lichen on the ash tree just exploded with color again.
It also spread to the west side of the tree, where there had been only a dusting before.
On the east side it was much more prominent and thicker, also spreading up higher on the trunk.
On the south side – still no sign of any.
There’s one spot that has a large mat of material, unlike everywhere else where it’s broken up to match the cracks and breaks in the tree bark.
Here it’s filled in all of those cracks and become a solid mass. There’s also that orange-ish section off on the left.
Where the rest of it seems to be a couple of millimeters thick on the bark, here it looks like it’s double or triple that.
The wide view, showing how bright it’s gotten.
And the video view. You’ll also notice how hard it is to zoom in while not dropping the umbrella…
