Thanks, Cheryl.
lucin

It certainly does!
Stan Wojtaszek replied

Thanks for looking, lucin.
I’m thinking the orange “stuff” is some sort of lichen (?). There aren’t too many rocks showing so I’ve no idea how much of this is around.
Vickie Emms

it’s called Lichen I think,,,,,,,,,,,wonderful, colorful shot with the contrasting colors Stan,,,,,
Stan Wojtaszek replied

Thanks, Vickie. Will have to do some searches on lichen to see what we come up with.

Bill Morgenstern

Fine light and contrast here Stan. I assume this is on a Wabigoon shoreline. If so you might find it interesting that certain orange lichens, especially on rock surfaces along bodies of water are there because they get their major nutrients from bird droppings, probably in this case gulls. Just some trivia for the day ;o)

Cheers – Bill
Stan Wojtaszek replied

Thanks for the comment and info, Bill. Now I’m really glad everything was covered in snow and ice ! lol.
