Thanks Hans, I don´t know what kind of tree it was but most are oaks and cedars

Great series.. The green ones in the background look nearly like mistletoes (No, that´s no suggestion, it´s just the design). The ones in the front like some small flowers. And all surrounded by this blue lichen. It´s a lichen society on that tree. What kind of tree was that?
