Spring at last

 
Spring has sprung at last!

Lichen found at Martin Mere and a 'phonescope'.

 
A friend has passed on the 'lichen' bug to me!!  I never knew they could be so interesting and unlike wild life they don't move when you try to photograph them.  Below is a selection of jam tarts!
 
 
 










We've now found a great device which fits on a mobile to take close up photos without the conventional camera.
