Good news from the Ipernity Members Association (IMA) today, 15 July 2017, for those Flickr members who are also on the ipernity website!
"Dear members,
We are absolutely delighted to share with you that the legal basis of our IMA goal to take the Ipernity platform over is achieved:
Ipernity S.A. (represented by Christophe Ruelle) and IMA (represented by Eric Desjours) signed the contract regarding the transfer of the Ipernity platform, the underlying intellectual property and associated rights from Ipernity S.A. to IMA.
We can share in short the following details of the contract and next steps:
The price for the transfer is 1 €.
IMA will cover 12,000€ of costs that had been incurred by hosting and maintaining the Ipernity platform during the negotiations.
Codes and passwords are being handed over as we speak.
IMA has a 15 days withdrawal right.
Ipernity S.A. will then start the transfer of the accounts of Amazon, Paypal, Google, etc.
Other necessary legal processes will follow.
The transfer process will be finished end of July.
We will keep you informed!
Best regards, William and Eric"

We are under a Heat Warning yet again today (I could almost say this has been going on for a few weeks now). This evening, our temperature is 30C (feels like 32C). Too hot in my place to do anything - sitting still, watching far more TV than I ever watch, which is such a waste of time.
Yesterday was a hot day, too, but our bio-blitz of the Rusty Bucket Ranch, west of Calgary, started at 8:00 am, to catch the coolest part of the day. This was the first time we had been there and we had such a great morning. What a beautiful place and area! Thirteen of us gathered to explore part of the land belonging to Liz and Alan Breakey - 160 acres, mostly wooded, with many streams feeding into Bragg Creek.
The gorgeous garden itself was full of bright, healthy plants, including a few scattered Bleeding Hearts flowers. Once we were in the forest, we came across all sorts of wildflower species and even a few fungi, including the one with guttation droplets that I posted this morning, and this pair of enormous Conks. We all met the challenges of small, hidden logs along the trail, lying in wait to trip anyone who was not paying careful attention. One of the last areas was a bog, where the small, partly hidden pools of water were difficult to avoid - I nearly lost a shoe in there! On the final stretch back to the house, we caught sight of a distant buck with its new growth of antlers; also, a few of the sheep that the Breakeys raise. A really fun walk for us all, with all sorts of things of interest. Many thanks to Liz and Alan for inviting us to the Rusty Bucket Ranch to explore and list all species seen! Thank you, too, for the very welcome muffins, delicious lemon drink, and coffee!
"Ganoderma applanatum (the artist's bracket, artist's conk or bear bread) is a bracket fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution.
This fungus grows as a mycelium within the wood of living and dead trees. It forms fruiting bodies that are up to 30–60 centimetres (12–24 in) across, hard, woody-textured, and inedible; they are white at first but soon turn dark red-brown. Brown spores are released from the pores on the underside of the fruiting body. The fruiting bodies are perennial, and may persist for multiple years, increasing in size and forming new layers of pores as they grow.
It is a wood-decay fungus, causing a rot of heartwood in a variety of trees. It can also grow as a pathogen of live sapwood, particularly on older trees. It is a common cause of decay and death of beech and poplar, and less often of several other tree genera, including alder, apple, elm, buckeye and horse chestnut, maple, oak, walnut, willow, western hemlock, Douglas Fir, and Spruce.
A peculiarity of this fungus lies in its use as a drawing medium for artists. When the fresh white pore surface is rubbed or scratched with a sharp implement, dark brown tissue under the pores is revealed, resulting in visible lines and shading that become permanent once the fungus is dried.
The Anne Frank tree in Amsterdam suffered rot from Ganoderma applanatum before it blew over in 2010." From Wikipedia.

After the morning's hike, we all returned to the city and thoroughly enjoyed a BBQ lunch put on by our botany/birding friends, Dorothy and Stephen. I hadn't had a burger in years - and this one was so good! Thanks so much, Dorothy and Stephen, for all the time and effort you put into this. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon, chatting with friends and eating all sorts of 'goodies'. Happy to see the tiny Hummingbird that has been visiting your garden, and lovely to seethe bright yellow American Goldfinch. It was quite windy, too, which felt wonderful on a hot day.

"Lamprocapnos spectabilis also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. White-flowered forms are also cultivated." From Wikipedia.

"Some fungi are prone to exhibiting a curious phenomenon—they exude beads of moisture, called guttation. In several polypores, such as Fomitopsis pinicola, the liquid produced can look so much like tears that you'd swear the fungus was weeping. Or maybe sweating. Other species produce pigmented drops that can look like milk, or tar, or even blood."

"Guttation, a term used in botany to describe the process by which plants excrete excess water through drops from their leaves. For some mushrooms this is so common that it is a reliable identification feature."
