I'm lichen it....

Another wet and miserable day, the highlight of which was buying a new external hard drive for my laptop so that I could download all my Blips using LooseCanon's program (which worked like a dream). Nothing much to Blip but when I walked to the village shop for my paper this morning I spotted this lichen covered twig that had broken off the neighbour's walnut tree. This is the best I could come up with using my macro extension tubes and a torch.
