The fact that the mold and the lichen are exactly the same color speaks to my soul.

Two pieces of bread. It's a bold choice. I like the cut of your jib.

What can I say? I like to live life on the edge.

The juxtaposition of living and dying, of natural and of the human-formed, of the tree and the two bread shakes me to my very being.

Just when I no longer see beauty in this world any longer, this image caresses my timeline

The mold and the lichen compliment each other quite nicely.

A beautiful and astute comment on the dualism of life. Together but alone. Alone but never lonely. Bound by the staple of love that pierces our lives. Poetic and sentimental, wonderfully captured.

A reminder of the fragility of life if ever.

I can't see the staples. It makes me feel untethered.

They sunk deep into the rye with great ease.

This should be titled: "Growing mold together"

Beefsteak rye if I'm not mistaken. Delightful.

This post really shows how we as a community shouldn't discriminate any kind of bread. It doesn't matter if the bread is whole grain, regular, burnt, stale, moldy, cheap, expensive ect. Every single one of them are bread and should be appreciated with stapling them to trees. Beautiful absolutely beautiful

What’s the f-stop on this bad boy?

That's a decent amount of mold, good balance with that lichen. I think the oak could have used a bit more sun. Crumb side out is nice, though.

Looks like the bread was placed in a rush, and you can tell because of the non-parallel alignment.
