Yesterday, Nature Conservancy of Canada announced that the charitable land trust was expanding its protection of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere with the recent acquisition of 75 hectares of land. https://www.natureconservancy.ca/en/where-we-work/ontario/news/frontenac-arch-75ha.html The news is a reminder of how lucky we are to live in this amazing area. In celebration of this good news, here is another in my continuing series of images exploring tiny landscapes from November 2022, this time featuring a tiny cluster of pixie cups nestled within some red-stemmed feather moss. The interaction between the fungus and algae symbionts is shown by little green dots of algae visible on the whitish fungus of the pixie cups.
