Slime mold, Spirit Rocks Sanctuary

Slime mold, Spirit Rocks Sanctuary
I know, it's "just" a slime mold (supermacro shot) showing different stages of development of the Plasmodium and honeycomb fruiting bodies of the slime mold Ceratiomyxa porioides (?, thanks Doug/RIP) - but I was so thrilled to see this when a few of us were lucky enough to visit Spirit Rocks Sanctuary, way back on 26 June 2011. Joanne Susut 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. Four of us went from Calgary and we met up with three delightful and very knowledgable ladies there. Thanks so much, Joanne, for letting us explore your land - we appreciated it greatly and enjoyed spending this time with you and your friends. (I don't have the exact location to add to my map, so have just marked Rimbey, Alberta, mainly just to remind myself where it is).
