Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Oh, I love lichen! Thanks for the bouquet!
Before I passed 40, I had great eyesight and was very proud of it. Now, I have to carry reading glasses everywhere. I do like how our cameras can see things for us, with even more detail than a moving magnifying glass.
If you did'nt tell me it was not a macro lens then I would have said it was GREAT MACRO shot well done!
i'm just dicovering your blog ,great photos .
This is a wonderful photo! So many worlds to explore and as you've shown us there is so much to see and discover in our own backyards!
If you plucked this bouquet from your yard for me, I would be charmed.
WHat an amazing shot, however you arrived at it! I love the weird, science-fiction quality of lichen. So many things, when viewed up-close, take on a kind of otherworldly feel. I love this.
Wow, well done!
Just ignore all the extra clicks from Willits/Ukiah.
They're beginning a Day of the Triffids-type takeover, beginning with your backyard!
Elaine, I was thinking of your lichen-love posts back in March and April when I titled this and you are most welcome.
Philip, thank you - the reversed 50 mm prime is essentially a macro lens except that it can't be focussed except by moving oneself backwards or forwards. Most inconvenient but it works.
Babzy and Hope, thank you.
Petrea, if I plucked this and gave it to you I'd probably get a strange look since this bouquet is about the size of the tip of a toothpick. But I'm glad you like it and if you're prepared to share with Elaine I'll gladly dedicate some of it to you.
Laurie, thanks. What it makes me think of is those movies where the hero is reduced to the size of an ant and wanders around in forests like this.
Ineke, thank you.
Elaine, click away - it's free.
Kris, you better look out - I suspect that Tasmanian lichens are even more dangerous than this one. And I think I saw some on that wall outside your office moving ever so slowly towards your window. One day you'll be sitting there enjoying some of your favorite yogurt and you'll feel a soft fluttering against the back of your neck, and then....
LOL!
I don't know about that lens you used but I love the shot. Bravo. Thanks for the bouquet you romantic devil!
