They are the first!

They sometimes are almost invisible. Where we can not go, they have an easy access. On stones in streams, on rocks exposed to sun, on lava flows, on tree bark and twigs - their colours are even spectacular. They are very stable components of mountains.

Hi Sajama!!! Sometimes we are completely alone in mountains and only these small "pioneers" are our companions.

Good idea for an album. It doesn't surprise me you'd be interested in this subject with your excellent feel for design and color.

:-) Yes, you are perfectly right
and those "plants" gives lots and lots of information - about the quality of the the air, which way north is, what kind of stone or tree, etc...

Dean, I think, very characteristic lichens for any kind of rocks in fresh air are spectacular in shapes and colours. In my institute some colleague is working with them. Slime molds and mushrooms are also beautiful. Unfortunately some of these 'plants' are rather small.
I wish you nice 'zapiatek'!!! (in Polish it means the same as weekend)
