Meanwhile, here are a few more of the Centennial Beach photos:
Marsh beyond the dunes. We look for swallows here in the summer.

I like the lichen.
ReplyDeleteVery few good books on lichen I notice.
I know. The books that are more complete have lousy photos, and the few with great photos show a few lichen, always from somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever find a good book, let me know.
I like the last photo. Was Tim's really selling snowballs for 5c?
ReplyDeleteSeabrooke,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no. Out of stock.
The best book I know on Lichens is the Observers book of lichens - you can probably pick up a copy from ABE books. Observers books were a series of pocket books produced in the UK - they have ben out of print for years but have a cult following with collectors. I did a post on my blog about them - see link. There is also an observers book of mosses and liverworts

Thanks, Mark,
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen one of those, in a used bookstore around here. Not the lichen one, though.
I'll watch for them.
