No doubt all common Lichens, but I just liked this selection, seen on Plateau Mountain yesterday. This was a wonderful hike, even though we didn't go up on to the flat top of the Plateau. The grassy hillsides were covered in wildflowers, several new ones, too. It is a very long drive from Calgary, though. The rain waited until we were ready to go home and, thankfully, it wasn't a really hot day.

Some species of Buttercup, presumably, tucked away into a little space between the lichen-covered rocks at Ptarmigan Cirque, Kananaskis. Taken during a day hike on that trail on 11th July.
