Tetramelas papillatus 'Button Lichen' (formerly Buellia papillata) is a crustose lichen that grows on weakly calcareous substrates in alpine to subalpine conditions. The thallus is convex, white to gray, areolate to bullate. Apothecia are black, mainly convex, sometimes pruinose. Young apothecia may have a thin thalline margin. Growing on dead moss at the edge of a talus slope at 2184 m (7165 ft). This species needs confirmation by looking at the spores but is probably correct as it is one of very few terricolous Tetramelas (Buellias) in Alberta and is an S4 (relatively common).

something about these jars(from google):
Pickle jars are used to store the pickles. The fruit or the vegetable that is to be pickled is cooked. It is placed in the pickle jars and the brine mixture is poured on it. This is the procedure which is followed while making pickles. These jars are then stored in a cool, dry and dark place for about a month.
Later the pickle can be eaten from these jars. The pickle jar is one of the most important utensils that are used in the process of pickling.
Protoparmelia badia 'Chocolate Rim Lichen' is a an areolate, pale to grayish brown crustose lichen with many relatively large, 0.7-1.5mm lecanorine apothecia with dark, shiny, red brown disks and and paler, persistent smooth margins.

I don’t know why I choose to paint a pickle jar, but when I saw it standing proudly in my cupboard I couldn’t help but appreciate the different colours created by the onions floating within the murky vinegary liquid. I feel my painting uses a good mixture of vibrant and textured colours, allowing the onions to stand out and appear almost good enough to eat. I am not entirely happy with the blank light green label; I often feel it makes the painting appear incomplete. One day I might bite the onion and add some writing to the label.

Scenes from drives many Calgarians call the Highway 40 Loop. The loop, however, does include the Trans Canada Highway between Calgary and the north end of Highway 40, Highway 540 which connects the south end of Highway 40 with Highway 22, and Highway 22 (The Cowboy Trail) from Longview to Calgary.
Platanthera dilatata 'Bog Candles' I would appreciate some orchid expert to tell me what variety this one is. There are three varieties of this species. Which one this is is determined by the relative length of the spur to the lip of the orchid. This is a tall, up to 100 cm, whit flowered orchid that has a distinct vanilla odor.
