I went to #Vancouver yesterday to photograph Science World that was made to look like a #FIFA football and to capture the giant #flag place on #Grouse Mt for the games. A flag that could only barely be seen from the city. Believe it or not I got a better photo (on right) 50k away at Crescent Beach.

#ScienceWorld dome made to look like the official #FIFA football and #BCPlace stadium where the games held in #Vancouver will be played. #BC #tourism

As you leave the Skytrain Station at False Creek you see the Science World dome that was made up to look like the #FIFA official football. #Vancouver #BC

Short #video of BC Place Stadium where the #FIFA football games will be played in #Vancouver, #BC and of Science World across False Creek from it that was made to look like the game ball.

I see #Bluesky has raised the file size limit on videos from 100MB to 300MB. Let's see if this video of 122.7MB will upload. It didn't the first time I tried it. #video #videosize #forest #walk

Soaring Eagles. Wishing all those born June 4th a happy birthday. 🎂 #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Just as an FYI: I've noticed that Topaz's sharpening programs sharpen some parts of a photo but not all. Here it sharped the head and body but not the talons or rock. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Two photographs that didn't quite turn out as well as I hoped. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Bald Eagle. One of 50+ on the beach yesterday. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

This patient Bald Eagle waited awhile before flying over to grab a fish that got stuck in the rocks when the tide went out. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Young Bald Eagles. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

This eagle looks like he's wearing a superhero's costume. Or is that must me? #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Eagle Day at the Beach. If you look closely at the noisy eagle he has a fish in his claw and just before the fade out he says to the eagle beside him, "My fish. My fish." #bird #birds #eagle #nature #video

Moonrise May 31, 2026. Blue Micromoon. First photo I took where the orange colour came out more or less as it appeared in the sky. #moon #photography #nightsky

Moonrise May 31, 2026. The Blue Micromoon (Second Full Moon of the month) happened at its farthest point from Earth, it is the smallest full moon of the year. The insert shows birds passing in front of the moon. #moon #photography #nightsky

Moonrise May 30, 2026. The setting sun was still lighting up the sky when I took this photo from my balcony. I didn't use a tripod but suspect the haze wouldn't have given me a sharper image anyway. #moon #photography #nightsky

Bald Eagle with a "What you lookin' at?" attitude. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography (Note: Original background.)

Another test of #Adobe #photoshop generative fill using #Firefly. I post this only to show that a poor photo can be juiced up a bit with a proper sky. But only a little. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Bald Eagle. I experimented with #Adobe #Photoshop generative fill / #Firefly replacing a white background with waves. Of note is that in the first photo feathers were added to the tail and the head was reshaped, even though they weren't part of the selection. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

B&W Photo of Bald Eagles south of #CrescentBeach #BC. The original colour photo wasn't too inspiring so I thought I'd try a black and white version. #bw #bnw #bwphoto #bird #birds #eagles #nature #photography

Bumblebee Video. I'm not sure what to make of this bumblebee I spotted dragging itself along the ground. Do they not use their hind legs for walking? #bee #bumblebee #insect #nature #video

Bumblebee. One of nature's gentlest of creatures, but don't try and pet one. #bee #bumblebee #flower #insect #nature #photography

Young Bunny. This little bunny, maybe a few months old, was crouched in the ferns as I passed by. Too cute not to post! #rabbit #nature #photography

What a Black Oystercatcher looks like when it flies away as a noisy boat came around the corner. #bird #birds #oystercatcher #nature #photography

Black Oystercatcher. Photo of oystercatcher shown in recently posted video. This one was at the north edge of #CrescentBeach, #BC. I had only seen them further south before along the beach away from where people frequent. But it was a quiet day. #bird #birds #oystercatcher #nature #photography

Rufous-Sided Towhee. Photo of the Towhee shown in video posted in the last hour. #bird #birds #towhee #nature #photography

In my video I called this a Three-Toed Woodpecker but as it is not common to #CrescentBeach #BC I now think it more likely a Downy Woodpecker. A bird that is common but not often seen there. #bird #birds #Downy #woodpecker #nature #photography

Three Birds and a Bunny. Here's a quick look at a Three-Toed Woodpecker, a Rufous-sided Towhee, a Black Oystercatcher, and a bunny not more than a couple of months old, one of two hiding in the greenery. All seen in one outing. #bird #birds #Woodpecker #Towhee #Oystercatcher #rabbit #video

Photo of one of a pair of gulls that took terns dive bombing me as I walked along the beach. #bird #birds #tern #nature #photography

Eagle. My general impression is that if you get within a 100 feet or so of a mature eagle it'll leave the rocks on the beach for the trees. Where they sit watching with disapproval. Younger ones are a bit more tolerant. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Eagle lands. Is bothered by crow. Looks around. Then sits and contemplates the universe. Just another average day in the life of an eagle. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Eagle. This eagle caught me off guard with it's close approach. I post the photo because I like how it's talon's are neatly and snuggly placed under the tail. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Bald Eagles. Most of the eagles on the beach the other day were mature. As this area south of #CrescentBeach is a nesting area I must assume that the young have yet to leave the nest. Last May they were all over the place by now. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Bald Eagles and crow. I didn't notice the crustacean in the crow's mouth till I processed the photo. #bird #birds #crow #eagle #nature #photography

Eagle. I like the sky in this photo and though it may seem I photoshopped the eagle in, I didn't. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Eagles with Metrotown in the distance. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Eagle. A couple of cropped stills that went into the video I just posted about eagles at the base of Surrey's 1001 Steps. #bird #birds #eagle #nature #photography

Elgin Park in #Surrey, #BC isn't generally known for dinosaurs but on a recent bike ride I came across one. Poor little fellow was lost but I managed to reunite him with his family who were very grateful. (Music: Jurassic Park - Ultimate Soundtrack Suite | John Williams) #dinosaur #ElginPark

Eagles and Crows vie over a crab. It's common when taking only my #INSTA360 to #WhiteRock #beach that I see something like this and am thus unable to record it in better quality. But for what it's worth, here it is. #bird #birds #crow #eagle #nature #video
