I set up a desk area so I can "work" outside this summer.

On two adjacent rocks I found this Hidden Goldspeck (Candelaria aurella) lichen.
It's interesting how this lichen only spreads out on one of the rocks in straight lines.
It is probably a matter of different layers of rock, of which I unfortunately understand nothing.
Does anyone know anything about this?

@nasamuffin I've read a lot of Earthsea, but I can't recall reading Tehanu. I should.

Students from the University of Manchester's Physics Society have constructed a 30,500-piece LEGO model of the iconic Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. Including -

"... producing a 4,000-page instruction manual..." 🤯

@nasamuffin It'd look better than what's there.
I want to replace the light fixture in my bathroom because it is hella ugly, but I am totally overwhelmed by all the choices.

As part of the new CBA, neck guards will be mandatory for all new players entering the NHL in the 2026-2027 season. Adam Johnson's tragic legacy.

@bright_helpings Petition for them to change it to that.
@ghost_bird And good luck with the meeting!

@hootalex This is wonderful. Simple, but complex. Quiet, but with rain and wind. I love it ♥️
@hootalex drawing like this makes me realise how far I am from what can be done working with simple shapes. I love this one and it makes me want to draw even more !
@Ortie The highest praise! Thank you so much. My secret is I almost always start by drawing the silhouette first- if it is recognizable alone then the details can be as simple as you want them to be! :)
