Damselfly Action at Rice Lake
We saw damselflies courting at Rice Like in North Vancouver today. Boreal Bluets?
I think Cherry-Faced Meadowhawk?
Red-Legged Frogs at Rice Lake, North Vancouver
We spotted a few of these today, and when I posted them to Facebook (my favourite animal ID app : – ), was told they are Red-Legged Frogs. They were barely the size of my thumbnail.
Burnaby Mountain Sunset
There were a lot of people on Burnaby Mountain tonight. Long weekend? Hoping to see the Northern Lights? That didn’t pan out, but it was a lovely sunset.
This is a series of shots taken of downtown Vancouver from the mountain, with deliberate variations in focus. . .

Afternoon Walkabout at Barnet Marine Park
It was a lovely afternoon for exploring Barnet Marine Park in north Burnaby, BC. I try to get up there a few times a year. It was fairly busy just before the end of summer and the start of school, so not as many birds around.
Drummond’s Walk, named after the late Doug Drummond, a Burnaby mayor who “shared the dream that many citizens had expressed to him about public access and trails on Burnaby’s waterfront.. . . for all to enjoy.”
Hard to believe he died 17 years ago, I remember attending his funeral.
Cormorants
Photo Ramble at Historic Stewart Farm
I spent a couple of hours shooting photos around the Historic Stewart Farm in south Surrey, BC, this afternoon.
Fascinated Cat, Playful Birds
“Dey know, the fluffy buggers, I can’t get ’em. But I still duz my best to rattle the window!”
We’re indoor cat people, partly because we live on a ravine and outdoor cats disappear fast around here with the coyotes around, and also because even well-fed cats cannot resist killing birds.
Cats can be very happy indoors, but it takes a lot of play time and interaction.
But that’s why we love ’em to begin with, eh?
Our last cat, Choco, was nervous outdoors, and would only go out supervised in a harness to chew on some grass, sticking very close to home.
New rescue kitty Sora has not been introduced to the harness yet, that’s still a bit down the road.
Warbler, Hummers at Front Door
When we came back from our Byrne Creek ravine walk in SE Burnaby, BC, late this afternoon, we spotted a female Black-Throated Gray Warbler and some hummers hanging about.
Mergansers and Cormorants at Porteau Cove
Stopped at Porteau Cove on the way home from a one-night camping trip. This favourite stop on the Sea to Sky featured nearly indistinguishable colors, sea to sky : – ).
