The iron footbridge across the bayou in the Winters Bayou area of Sam Houston National Forest, east of Waverly, Texas, is adorned with a vibrant display of loop lichen (Hypotrachyna) on February 23, 2019. The delicate, greenish-yellow growths cling to the bridge's rusty metal surface, adding a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise industrial structure. – generated by AI
