As the summer and the best experiences always do, another field season has flown by. Packing up, handing in equipment, submitting data, and turning over our truck keys. It has been quite the season for learning about new taxa and western species, jumping over or crawling under barbed wire fences, bushwhacking through dense boreal or thick canola, the constant wind of the prairies, many moose sightings, battling the Trimble GPS and the cattle cages, and contributing to our knowledge of biodiversity in Alberta. Next adventure: moving to the capital city and working in the lab at the University of Alberta, identifying the different lichen species collected in the spring!

| Me, Mandy, and our Truck |
 |
| I defeated the cattle cages, after much swearing and quite nearly losing the battle |
 |
| Sometimes we had to wear booties to prevent crop cross-contamination |
 |
| Cows kept us company |
 |
| From the foothills... |
 |
| To the Boreal... |
 |
| Canola crops... |
 |
| To greener pastures |
