Barnyard Wall
Ancient barnyard wall,
lichens clinging fast each stone—
holy ones, draw nigh.

This makes me understand why they are called “the living stones.”
Thanks also for your needed and welcome poem “Welcome the Shadows.”
I am always fascinated with lichens on stone. The stone seems so strong, the lichens so delicate … yet the stone crumbles under the strength of the lichens …
Hi!
Love all the texture in this picture. Have a great day!

Beautifully done!
Even if it’s grey and someone says it is only stones, I find it beautiful!!
I ‘lichen’ it!!!
Oh, that’s very good, Angie! I needed a dash of humor this evening! Thank you!
You made it appear beautiful while others would not take a second look at it. Great capture.
Have a fabulous week!

That is quite lovely in its very own way.

Very nice capture. It has lots of those lichens details too. My Yellow Monday
during our Christchurch earthquake, even big rocks like this moved.
Ah, boulders, large stones, outcroppings I think I love them almost as much as trees!
The lichens add beauty and drama! great shot and haiku!
