A bit of color in the winter landscape

There are no flowers blooming here this time of year, but the Pixie Cup Lichen seem to be quite happy in their winter home.

Early winter on the river

Eddy Mountain ice falls

Large ice falls at the base of Eddy Mountain. The tree at the base of the falls provides some size perspective.

The original post has been edited to show this photo of the falls in a more complete landscape:

River bank lichen

On the river bank the other day there were several bare rocks among all of the snow-covered ones about 50 feet up from the water, and some lichens seemed to love that environment, living with the snow in a very pretty way.

It’s not spring yet!
