Crustose Lichen

Light green and light orange colored lichen grows in a pattern that looks almost spray-painted upon a rock. With how close the photo is taken you can see distinct round shapes in the lichen. Both the foreground and background showcase the crustose lichen, but the background is blurred out to bring the foreground into focus.
