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".
