Miscellaneous lichens on a dead mesquite branch

Miscellaneous lichens on a dead mesquite branch

A Teloschistes species, at least one Ramalina species, and two or more other species I can't identify.
This background by the way is artificial. I brought the stick indoors to take a picture of it, mainly because of lighting and wind problems.

Strobist info: This is simply lit, with an SB900 in a Lumipro softbox III camera-right about 1 foot away. A green pebbly-textured yoga mat a few inches beyond the stick made a reasonably bright and colorful background (which would otherwise be black because of the f/32 aperture needed for DOF.)
