Ha, sorry for the disappointment! This was such a very tiny lichen (or fungus?), growing on a tree trunk in the forest at the Spirit Rocks Sanctuary, near Rimbey, north of Calgary. Found, if I remember correctly, by friend Doug (dougwaylett) with his eagle eyes (or should I say lichen eyes?) on June 26th. This very small, collected (with a collecting permit) sample was resting on my hand for a macro shot. Doug, if you happen to see this image, I checked your photostream last night, but couldn't find any photos of this. Maybe I missed it, somehow, but did you ever find an ID for it? Thanks. Spirit Rocks Sanctuary near Rimbey, Alberta, is a forest north of the city, that is under The Nature Conservancy of Canada and belongs to Joanne Susut. Joanne inherited this land, which she has named Spirit Rocks Sanctuary, from her parents and has donated it to the Nature Conservancy of Canada. It was about two and a half hours' drive north of Calgary, to near Rimbey. The day started off with rain and ended with rain, but luckily not a drop fell while we were walking.
