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.

About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.
