Imagery of Light 
It looks like a swarm of little butterflies. 🙂
with striped wings! 😛
Looks like beautiful rainbow seashells.
the rainbow effect was so neat to see and the texture does look like shells!
Very very beautiful!
thanks e! so nice to walk in the woods this time of year.
I don’t believe these are lichens, but fungi. Because of their shape they’re sometimes called shelf fungi or bracket fungi:

thanks Steve – yes they are! I’ll have to come up with a different name!
Very nice composition, Sheila, could almost be a landscape with the fungi as the trees or clouds! Very beautiful colours too. Good stuff! Adrian
thank you Adrian – I see what you are saying and the edge is the horizon.
WOW!!
mother nature at work creating art.
Wow – beautiful colours! Makes me think of the layers of petticoats (although usually white) when “Can-Can girls” do their leg kicks!!
ha ha yes! it is such neat fungi.
