Runes and Rounds

Seen at Crescent Beach:

Lichen circle. 

Several of the rocks had these, from about the size of a loonie to a hand-width. If you look closely at the full-size photo, you'll find individual cups as well, just starting out. I'm always amazed at these seemingly fragile things that eat away hard rock.

The yellow spots are another cup lichen.


Beetle tunnels on the inside of a piece of bark. They remind me of Nordic runes.

I think of it as beetle calligraphy.
