Continuing with the many colours of a dim, rainy afternoon near Big Tree Creek ...
 |
| Starting with a frond of that red bracken. |
 |
| Cladonia lichens on a stump, bright green in the rain. With a dead cedar leaf, rust brown. And Douglas-fir needles. |
 |
| Dallasite rock and Douglas-fir cones on yellow-green moss. The cone on the right still halfway hides one of the "mice". Rather skinny, this little grey one. |
Dallasite is "unique to Vancouver Island. ... It is thought to have been formed as pillow lava underwater." (BC Rockhound)
 |
| The bright greens of Douglas-fir. |
 |
| Buds of red elderberry. One of the first shrubs to leaf out in the spring. |
 |
| Evergreen sword ferns. With yellowish roadside grasses. |
 |
| Warm tan blades of a large grass or reed, unidentified for now. |
 |
| More Cladonia lichens. |
 |
| Young Douglas-fir trunk, with white lichen patches. |
And there are still more! Some interesting lichens, white and a very pale blue. I'll process those photos tomorrow.

Sigo con los colores vistos en una tarde gris ...
1. Una fronda de esos helechos águila.
2. Líquenes Cladonia sp., muy verdes bajo la lluvia. Con una hoja muerta de cedro rojo y hojitas de abeto de Douglas.
3. Una piedra "Dallasite" y conos de abeto de Douglas sobre musgo verde-amarillo. En el cono a la derecha uno de los ratoncitos de leyenda todavía trata de esconderse.
Dallasite is "único en la Isla de Vancouver. ... Se cree que fue formado como lava almohadillada sumergida." (BC Rockhound)
4. Una rama verde de abeto de Douglas.
5. Un botón nuevo de saúco rojo, Sambuca racemosa. Estos son uno de los arbustos que producen sus hojas y flores al principio de la primavera.
6. Un helecho perenne, Polystichum munitum.
7. Las hojas grandes, bronceadas, de un pasto o caña. Sin identificación por el momento.
8. Otros líquenes Cladonia sp.
9. El tronco de un abeto de Douglas joven, con manchas blancas de liquen.
Y todavía hay más. Unos líquenes interesantes, blancos y casi, apenas azules. Mañana me dedico a procesar esas fotos.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
