We are but a moment's sunlight fading in the grass.......

I had that song stuck in my head so decided I had to try to capture it.

Ooooo. That's Cladonia rangiferina, I believe. Reindeer lichen. I think I'd like to be the lichen in the fading sunlight. . . .

Except . . . while they're part light-capturing algae, lichens can not use light-capturing devices known as cameras. This presents a dilemma. . . .

Nice photo, by the way!

This is a 6 foot stump from our beautiful ash tree which has been lost to the Emerald Green Ash borer, and northern Ohio is rapidly losing all of these native trees.

KIT: 645Z with Pentax 67 165mm f 4.0 LS (used here with camera's focal plane shutter).

thank you - I believe that I am only scratching the surface of this little lens...

so few lenses have pixie dust, but this one has bags and bags of it....

hopefully, within a week or so, I'll get to try out the Nokton 58/1.4 also....

Thanks! Love your tag line.

Thanks! There are all sorts of great photography quotes out there--and way more quotes of other sorts--but that Wynn Bullock quote is one I especially like. Partly, I'm sure, because I love his work, and I suppose he's my favorite photographer (even if Caponigro's "Running White Deer" is my favorite photograph).

That's good to know about Acadia and Cladonia. Sometimes I say that lichens are the highest form of life on the planet; I'm not sure I don't believe that. They're definitely photogenic, and best captured blurring into bokeh, I think--even if those photos don't find their way into lichen field guides and such.

The Apostle Islands, off Wisconsin's northern coast in Lake Superior, have a wide variety of lichens. I haven't been there yet, but one day I should get there.

One day. . . .
