I found this spider, tipping it lightly over the snow at +2 deg.C. at the Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary, west of Edmonton. A double woot to anyone who can identify this. (Click to enlarge)

Natural History, Environment and Education
"To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning around. Surely our innocent pleasures are not so abundant in this life, that we can afford to despise this or any other source of them."
Thomas Henry Huxley, On the Educational Value of the Natural History Sciences (1854).
From Collected Essays (1893). Vol. 3, 63.
