@portiaclarkcbc @infomorning not very pink-coral but... next time i see a pinker version, hopefully i remember to tweet you :P
this is on rock along the shore of Goldsmith

[jonathan riley @jonathan_riley]

here’s some coral lichen on a hemlock on the shore of Goldsmith Lake - lacey !! @infomorning
@portiaclarkcbc

[jonathan riley @jonathan_riley]

@portiaclarkcbc @infomorning sometimes (often) the main “trunk” of the lichen gets a deeper coral colour … I’ll see if I can find a photo of it ;)

U’lukwej is one of those Mi’kmaq words you can almost guess … which animal of mi’kma’ki says “uu-lu”?

@ChemooCow Congrats. It’s a big step. You are right to celebrate in your own personal way! If you want a bell, one can be found! But there are so many ways to celebrate!!!!

[Keith @keithdunn]

One runner, after finishing his loop and dropping, cooked an egg burrito while showering. Like, took a camp stove and skillet into the shower, cooked the eggs, etc., and ate the tortilla. In the shower. #BM100

@ameliaboone Couldn’t let us celebrate fir a few minutes eh.
But You’re right you’re right!

@keithdunn @JasminKParis The whole world of obscure running is now officially rooting for @JasminKParis now.

[Keith @keithdunn]

Jasmin Paris @JasminKParis began loop four at 35:53:27.
Jasmin is the second woman to begin a fourth loop at the #BM100. The first was Sue Johnston in 2001.

[Maggie Guterl @MaggatronRuns]

@keithdunn @JasminKParis So it’s been 22 years I think since a woman went on to loop 4. This is a long time coming. Let’s go, jasmin! Stay steady. Nail that nav.

[Keith @keithdunn]

Jasmine Paris @JasminKParis has finished loop three in 35:40:46. #BM100

[Shu Pillinger @shupillinger]

When you're waiting for @JasminKParis to go onto lap 4 before you go to bed #BM100.

with a layer of freezing rain underneath — “pretty” they said. “Pretty fun race conditions” I replied. #trailrunning #tobogganrun #yeehaw #coffee

so different from Shane MacGowan’s: “any which way the wind may be blowing” #canoe

[jonathan riley @jonathan_riley]

the lichen I thought was Neglected Fringe is probably a Hypotrachyna spp

[jonathan riley @jonathan_riley]

Scaly Fringe lichen, newly listed as threatened, has scaly little lobe ends (squamules) while its close cousin Neglected Fringe has grainy clumps (soralia). You usually need hand lens to be sure. Today I found Scaly with Shaggy Fringe Lichen (darker). #lichen #speciesatrisk

[jonathan riley @jonathan_riley]

@SPBasquill thats definitely shaggy fringe! yellow birch or sugar maple?
