Nicely done with the bee shot, Dave. I've spent countless hours not getting good shots of moving things like insects. It always works better when they sit for a bit.
Natalie, looks to me like there are at least two lichens on that branch. Though I'd probably be more inclined to suggest that the brown one is a slime mould. Lovely shot of it all.
I've spent a lot of time on my knees in the dew or the frost or indeed on searingly hot red sands.
Mosses, lichens and all the other interesting stuff fascinates me and my camera.
Assorted ground flora.

Lonely elkhorn lichen.

Sporophyte forest. From mosses.

Slime moulds take on a lot of strange shapes. This one is called dog's vomit.

Happiness simply is.
