New York Botanical Gardens ~ Lichen and Mosses
The class at NYBG went well…..nice students with lots of lovely drawings. Â The final drawings are due by August 1st, I’m looking forward to seeing each one =)
Here are some photos of the British Soldier Lichen I took with my iPhone. Â The first one is a direct shot and the last three are shot through the lens of the dissecting microscope. Â If you look closely you can see the tiny mosses at the feet of the lichen. Â This British Soldier Lichen is about 1cm tall….a tiny world…enjoy!
I wish I would have taken photos of my class and students but I didn’t get the brilliant thought until I was half way up the Saw Mill Parkway =(
Discovery
Every once in a while you stumble onto something wonderful on the internet.  While researching mosses for my class at NYBG I did exactly that…I stumbled on an artist named Robert Muma.  To learn more about this artists and his life please go to his website at http://worldofmosses.com/robertmuma/index.html
He created a beautiful series of paintings of tiny mosses….a world so often stepped over……
