Vision of another era
We were lucky to see some of the last caribou south of the St. Lawrence River at the summit of Mont Jacques-Cartier. They are the last representatives of the large herds of woodland caribou that once occupied southern Quebec.
The woodland caribou herd of the mountain ecotype is now estimated at about 30 animals in the park.

I wasn't sure what to write about this, then for some reason a silly Fast Show sketch from 30 years ago popped into my head.
"If you like cheese, & you like peas, you'll like these, they're cheesy peas".
So that.
But lichen & sheep.
*nods wisely*

Not sitting on the armchair to observe this lichen-covered rock in order not to disturb the lichen on the armchair.

Closeup of an old Jack Pine cone, still attached to the tree after many years as the growth of tiny lichens on this one shows.

Beim #Rausgeschafft heute war schon absehbar, dass es keine große Runde wird - aber der Baum auf dem Weg war dann doch eine Überraschung!
Und irgendwie hat's 🚴♂️ nicht fertig gebracht, das Bild mit uns scharf zu stellen...
Aber das Bild für #Mosstodon und #LichenSubscribe ist immerhin scharf!
Wir flauschen dann mal...
