As I watched this towering cloud bank move in over a glacier, I thought it would be amazing to capture with watercolors.

I was enchanted to see this magnificent gathering of magical fairy drinking cup-shaped lichen of the cladonia genus.

I love hiking a forest path like this one with all its lush green moss, towering trees, and lots of mushroom and lichen for me to take macro photos of!

I love a grey, snowy day, when mists obscure the peaks in wispy veils. #snowymountains

Not only are the leaves of the aptly named silverberry shrub silver, but so are the berries! They provide an important winter food source for a variety of wildlife, including sharp-tailed grouse, songbirds, and moose.

One easy way to identify a Douglas fir tree is if it looks like mice are hiding under the cone scales, with their little tails sticking out. 😀

Another amazing little lichen garden taken with my macro camera. I am so enchanted! These are mainly species from the Cladonia genus.

This is fairy puke, which I was delighted to spot while out hiking. That’s the common name for Icmadophila ericetorum lichen, aka “peppermint drop lichen” or “candy lichen.” But to most, especially those in British Columbia, it is known as “fairy puke.”

This gray jay was hopping about in the fresh snow. As winter approaches, this jay uses its sticky spit to glue food to tree branches above the eventual snow line. Fossils of this species have been recovered dating 18,000 years old.

Anyone who read A Ghost of Caribou will be familiar with this little plant I came across while hiking — lycopodium. Its spores can erupt in flames when ignited, as Alex Carter knows all too well. It’s used for flame and explosion special FX in movies!
