Junco's, male and female blend in well with autumn colors. #bird #birds #Junco #nature #photography

Blackie Spit Park in South Surrey, BC. As part of Boundary Bay, it is one of the top bird watching areas in Canada, with hundreds of species of birds recorded each year. But right now pickin's are slim, hence the #landscape #photography

Stellar Jay feather. About the length of the average pinky finger. #bird #birds

Lorquin's Admiral Butterfly on left. Cabbage White on right. FYI: the average lifespan for the majority of butterfly species is two to four weeks. #nature #butterfly #photography #insects

Last post of the day from the #MudBay bike path. Long time ago people built something on the shore probably related to fishing but now only the foundation posts remain. While out a bit further I spied a legendary log creature roaming the #beach in search of prey. #photography #Delta #BC

I was beginning to think I'd never get a good shot of a hawk while biking down the Mud Bay bike path till one decided to alit in a tree. #bird #birds #hawk #Harris'sHawk #nature #photography

On the northern side of #MudBay 's bike path fields are starting to be harvested bring numerous #hawks in search of prey. #bird #birds #HarrisHawk #nature #photography #BC

Giraffes painted on logs can be found along #Delta #BC 's #MudBay along with numerous other unpainted logs erected to watch over the tide. How long have we humans been decorating our coastlines like this? #photography

Took my ebike along the Mud Bay path on the last full day of #Summer2025 where flowers were still blooming. #MudBay #Delta #BC #photography #nature #flowers

Ever since I can remember the blue skies of August are followed by cumulus clouds in September. #clouds #cumulus #sky #photography #September

Last day of #Summer2025 and the ducks know it as they practice flying in formation for a possible migration. #bird #birds #ducks #nature #photography

Wooly Caterpillar. #insect #nature #photography #weather Apparently the darker the orange the more severe the winter will be. Although this one is dark in the middle most I saw weren't.

A bit of Emilie-Claire Barlow singing “O Pato (The Duck)” to go with this video of ducks gathering on the last day of summer 2025. #BC #bird #birds #duck #ducks #MudBay #Summer2025 #video

The salmon were jumping yesterday in the Serpentine River but too fast for me to photograph. Best I got was this. #photography #salmon #SerpentineRiver #BC #autumn

Probably of little interest to anyone is that the movie "Wings of Fame" starring Peter O'Toole and Colin Firth, 1990, is on Youtube under the title, "Celestial Consequences." A bizarre look at what happens to the famous in the afterlife that I wouldn't wish on anyone dead or alive. #WingsofFame

Praise to the unknown artist both for the innovative use of a putty adhesive and for the time and effort it took to find the same size rocks to make the bugs. #art #beachart #rockart #photography

At the Nicomekl River I saw a #Kingfisher atop a pole that was scared away by a dog. Moving on I came upon a boat called "Kingfisher" moored on the opposite bank. Just then 2 kingfishers flew over it with one returning to sit on a railing above it. Ever feel something is orchestrating your life?

Red Winged Blackbird. Now that summers almost over and my foot almost completely healed I'm cautiously going out again. Did so a couple of times only to find birds are sparse. Hoping for a fall migration with some clear days ahead. #bird #birds #blackbird #nature #photography

Thought I'd work on my Black & White skills. #B&W #photography #seascape

Orange/Red Moon. #nightphotography #nightsky Sept. 7th's #BloodMoon lunar eclipse won't be visible in North America, but who needs it when smoke from Washington State forest fires fill British Columbia skies. #BC #moon #forestfire #photography #lunareclipse

"Destination Moon" sung by Diana Panton accompanies this short video taken last night from my balcony showing the moon turned orange/red by forest fire smoke coming up from Washington State. #moon #forestfire #video

A bit of rock art I found on the beach today. #art #beach #rock #video

I guess it's appropriate that after a summer of being restricted to short walks due to a sore foot that the first thing I should come across are the prints of an #eagle that walked the #beach sometime before me. #video #bird #birds

Willow Tree in Field. I combined 2 photos of this willow and field then replaced the sky with ON1 Sky Swap AI. The #digitalpainting was done with Corel Painter 2023 and Topaz Studio. Not great #art but considering it took about 5 hrs of my life I figured I'd better post it. #landscape

Mt. Baker and Tree, looking across Boundary Bay near the end of 64th St. in #Delta #BC. #landscape #photography #MtBaker

Last night's #moon turned red due to forest fire smoke. Photos came out yellow so I photoshopped one to give you a better idea of how it actually looked. Mostly I'm impressed by how clear the #Nikon Coolpix #P1100 photos were considering I didn't use a tripod. #photography #nightsky

Boundary Bay Airport. Thought I'd show you 2 of many pilots taking off and landing as part of their training. Note the 2nd plane pull up its landing gear and how the propellers seem to go in slo-motion. Then the born flyer at the end. #airport #BoundaryBay #Delta #heron #planes #video

Thought I'd give you a look at #WhiteRock #BC as seen 20.5km or 12.7 miles away from #Tsawwassen to give you an idea of the zoom power of the #Nikon Coolpix #P1100. Tide was out leaving the sea floor a dark green from summer seaweed growth. FYI: far tower on the left is about where I live. #video

Geese at Pond. There's a pond along #BoundaryBay #BC where the owners reached a deal with the ducks and geese. The birds get the pond as long as they stay out of the owners swimming pool. #bird #birds #geese #nature #photography #video

As the sun began to set these two Flickers started preening. As it was Friday I figured they were getting ready for a night on the town. FYI: background noise courtesy of noisy neighbours. #bird #birds #flickers #nature #photography #video.

I grew up near this rock. It's top was flattened by the glacier that left it there over 10,000 years ago. I'd climb atop it with my sister when young and imagine that over the thousands of years it lie there that many #BC #Indigenous children did the same. #nature #photography #rock #iceage

One of the first photos I took that turned out well. It was taken at #LighthousePark in #WestVancouver #BC. #landscape #seascape #sea #photography

I thought I'd post some old stuff of mine while my foot heals. Here's one from 2016. #art #digitalart

Hearing that people use #ChatGPT as a #therapist I asked it for some relationship advice. It said, "Have you ever considered that the problem may be you?" 😂

Happy August, everyone! Dipping back into day's gone past here's a tribute #song to the month. #August #JohnHartford www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1zV...

Yesterday, as the setting sun painted the clouds pastel pink, I stood on my balcony with arms crossed taking it all in. When a cloud took on the form of a head and torso with arms crossed looking back at me I had to laugh. The universe does like to play! #sunset #universe #play

Hummingbird at my feeder. Stuck as I am indoors till my foot heals I'm reduced to taking photos on my balcony. We've only so many summers allotted to each of us. Sad to spend part of one indoors. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. #bird #birds #hummingbird #nature #photography

Nothing special. Just a coal train crossing a bridge over Mud Bay in South Surrey, #BC. #video #INSTA360 #train #Surrey
