Gorgeous!
In another life I would love to be a lichenologist. Beautiful certainly, but because they seem to be able to exist on almost any surface, in almost any climate they might hold a key for the future health of the planet. I was saying this to my 9 year old grandson and he said he would just have to be a lichenologist instead of me!
Oh dear, I thought you might have asked that…hard to say as there are so many different avenues that would appeal. A traditonally male occupation…psychology…gardening…the list is probably endless… so who knows?!
I too have an endless list – dancer, artist, textile designer, textile conservator, historical costume maker, archaeologist – I try to do a bit of each now and again! It’s fun to get up in the morning and say – today I will be a ……. giving myself permission to have a play day in those different realms.
Hard to tell what trees they are – they are on my Mum’s island and in a dip below the level of the road so would be difficult to access. Quite possibly hawthorn or maybe blackthorn
This looks like spring has sprung

That’s an interesting thought – maybe holding a key for the future AND what one would like to have been in another life…
What would you like to have been Cathy?

That’s a good idea, Sandra – and I am off to be a Bricklayer once I am up to date with my IAVOM comments!!

Looks like blossom! Is it blackthorn? That is what attracts the lichen most here.
