    My article is presenting a short #macro series of the #lichen #Parmelia #sulcata, which I #photographed in the #urban #forest area #Jungfernheide in #Berlin in March 2026, close to a wetland area, the lake Flughafensee.

  2. Lichens indicate airquality and climateconditions. I found the #species below in #Jungfernheide #forest #Berlin. While #Parmelia #sulcata requires light, but is flexible, #Hypotrachyna #afrorevoluta needs warm, nitrogen-poor #environments and clean air. The latter is rarer in #Germany, but spreading eastward based on #globalwarming. D. Masson (2004) found it on #treetrunks and #branches.

  7. Zwischen 1786 und 1886 wurden diese #Steine aufgestellt, die heute alle verwittert und von #Flechten, hier die #Sulkatflechte (#Parmelia #sulcata) und #Moosen überzogen sind. Gesehen auf dem historischen und unter Denkmalschutz stehendem alten Friedhof der Jüdischen Gemeinde zu Kettwig, heute auf Ratinger Stadtgebiet.

    Between 1786 and 1886, these
    #stones were erected, which today are all weathered and covered with #lichens and #mosses. Seen on the historic and listed old cemetery of the Jewish community in Kettwig, today on Ratingen city territory.

  8. Hi, friends! I’m sorry that we’ve been too busy to share our tortoise time over the past couple of months, but this was worth taking a break for a quick edit and post.

    Dee Dee going for swim on Marky’s back. The song is Minutemen’s “The Tin Roof.”

  11. I don't think I've mentioned that since Marky has been cleared of pinworms, he has moved into the mansion with Joey and Dee Dee. He's made himself comfortable at Dee Dee's expense.

  12. Tortoise weigh-ins today!! Dee Dee has picked up 19 grams since last month. Joey is catching up by adding 15 grams last month. Marky is holding steady, but he has finished his doses of panacur and the last fecal sample tested negative for the pinworms with which he came to us.

    Very proud of our tortoise friends!
