Lichen Look-alikes

Last July, during a trip to Tahoe, I took a picture of some lichen on a rock near the bottom of Glen Alpine Falls, near the south end of Fallen Leaf Lake, and near a trailhead into the Desolation Wilderness. This spot is in El Dorado County, California.

A few days ago, on garret vreeland's always interesting dangerousmeta weblog, I saw another lichen-on-a-rock photo. My only clue as to the location of that one is the alt text: "lichens, eldorado wilderness". I believe that New Mexico's Eldorado Wilderness Area is near Santa Fe. Here are the two photos side by side...

I made a tenuously-related post last August ... about lichenometry.
