South Burnaby Power Walk
I took a few photo stops during my south Burnaby power walk today along the Skytrain between Edmonds and 22nd Street stations.
Saw a pair of hummers putting on a dazzling display of flight
Lots of robins chowing down on berries
Birds of Burnaby’s Barnet Marine Park
Took a slow easy stroll along Barnet Marine Park, as my sore back is still not 100%. So nice to get some fresh air and nature!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, that feels good : -)
Sore Back = Slow Walk = Seeing the Small Things
I’ve got a sore back, but have to keep moving, so I shortened and slowed my usual Byrne Creek ramble in SE Burnaby. But going slowly resulted in seeing lots of cool stuff!
All of the above critters were on the railing of the wooden footbridge at the bottom end of Byrne Creek ravine.

Single-Serve Soy Sauce Silliness
I was cleaning the fridge today and found we’d accumulated enough single-serve packs of soy sauce over the last year or so to amount to a full measuring cup.
Seems like such wasteful packaging. I try to remember when ordering Chinese takeout to tell them not to include any, but forget now and then. And often sushi comes in sets prepackaged with single serves. . .

South Surrey Cuties
We went down to south Surrey for a walk round Stewart Heritage Farm. Shot a few cuties along the way :-).
Christmas Eve Afternoon Walk at Fraser Foreshore Park
We caught the late rays at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, this afternoon, then headed home to relax by the tree.
A pumping station kicked in as we walked by
Bird Feeder Action in SE Burnaby
Christmas Eve afternoon at the bird feeder.
Skytrain & Seabus Xmas Ramble
We covered a good chunk of the Skytrain system, heading up to Lonsdale Quay on the north shore, then all the way out to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, back downtown for some lights, and then home to Burnaby. A long but fun day.
The recent strong winds brought this tree down across the trail behind our place. I made a good choice in not going for a ravine walk the other day!
The usual gang of cormorants at Lonsdale Quay had an interloper.
Mountain woman! Reflection on Seabus terminal window.
Yumi squeezed into this kids ride at the quay. I should have dropped a coin in : – ).
And I found an empty throne and claimed it. . .
We enjoyed a few pieces by the Vancouver Youth Philharmonic at the Aberdeen Centre.
