Lost of nice stuff there. I like the big orange jellies and also the
little guys. The large Pt. Lobos tree needs to be B&W I think.
What I'm familiar with in Florida as "Old Man's Beard" is very thin and
wispy like a baby's hair and only grows about 4-5 inches long. But I
guess there are probably 1,000 lichen's that would meet the physical
description for something called "Old Man's Beard".
