To riff on the old Burl Ives song, here’s a bunch of Otters just doing what they oughter — which apparently was eating a lot of crabs — in Victoria Harbour, BC, last week.

Snowy Post-Breakfast Byrne Creek Walk in Burnaby
A post-breakfast trudge in the snow in the ‘hood.
Byrne Creek Ravine Park and Ron McLean Park in SE Burnaby, BC.
The happy lamp near our front door. This leaf found its way there on its own in the autumn, and has stuck around ever since. . .
Kim’s Mart — love this little store a five-mintue walk away with its fruits, veggies, seafood, and a variety of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese groceries.
Golden-crowned Kinglet, Heron, Mergansers on Byrne Creek
I took a long walk this morning in Byrne Creek Ravine Park, and along the dike, as it’s expected to snow heavily later today.
Was happy to see a Golden-crowned Kinglet for the second time in my life, along with a quite common Great Blue Heron, and a Hooded Merganser couple.

Wintry Views of Victoria, BC
Victoria, BC, doesn’t get snow that often, and it’s unusualy to have snow stick for days, if not weeks! During our Covid-safe vacation last week, we walked four to six hours a day, and it was wonderful getting to shoot the wintry conditions. Will be posting lots of wildlife photos in the next few days, too. . .
Home After a Week’s Vacay in Victoria, BC
Home in Burnaby after a week in Victoria, BC.
Despite the wintry, snowy weather during our vacation, we walked for 4 – 6 hours every day, and I shot some 1,300 photos .
Glad we took our winter boots along!
Will be editing and posting gradually as time allows over the next week or so.
