Misty morning

I wasn't sure I would get a walk in this morning as it had rained overnight and we woke to a dark 'whiteout'. We couldn't even see a hint of the lights of Brisbane on the southern horizon.

There was a break in the showers so I headed out - still misty but at least it was light enough to see where one was going.

Of course the misty rain refreshes the lichen and create beautiful droplets.

I arrived home dry which was good.

    Looking good. We are wet too, the garden needed it.

    lichens are amazing in their diversity ... I gathered some windfall yesterday for dyeing ... and that limned pink spot on the last lichen drew my eye back for another look
