Lichen

Yesterday's photo showed the mosses and ferns rampant in Thetis Lake Regional Park. Above are some of the lichens enjoying this cool dark season. The red-capped lichen is called British Soldier Lichen (Cladonia cristatella) because the red caps are reminiscent of those worn by British soldiers stationed overseas in the 19th century.

Great shot and I particularly love that dew drop on the right side!
