'cave painting'I tried a modern take on ancient graffiti or cave pictures. These are some of the wild creatures that roam our garden.

Our garden walls have been written on by nature with a wonderful variety of lichen, mograffiti1ss and ferns. After a bit of googling I think the white lichen on this bit of wall is Diploicia canescens, with small patches of the orange xanthoria. There is stonecrop growing in the cracks. I was so amazed when I looked properly at the walls, how much I have taken them for granted and not really considered how beautiful they are. Most of our walls are limestone with semi-circular sandstone capping stones, but this part of the wall is right next to the house and built with the same sandstone blocks as are used for the building corner stones.

graffitiI always like the lumpy letters they use on graffiti.This isn’t really over the top enough but I’ve enjoyed doing it.
