Went down to one of my favourite photo places, Garry Point Park in Steveston, BC.
Lunch!
This little fella had a thorough dust bath in the dirt and then flew up into a tree to dust off the dust

My sister is in town for a few days, so we took a walk around Deer Lake in Burnaby. Then I parked myself on a bench and hung out with some chicks, while my sister took another, faster lap.
Zoom.
OK, a gosling 🙂
Caught a couple of little beasties visiting our balcony garden.
This wee one was smaller than the fingernail on my pinkie
Yumi and I walked around Colony Farm Regional Park this afternoon. We saw lots of bees and damselflies, which are easy to shoot compared to the swooping swallows!
Back by popular demand! 🙂
As part of the City of Burnaby’s Environment Week celebrations, I’ll be presenting a slide show on “Beautiful Byrne Creek” at the Tommy Douglas Library in SE Burnaby on June 4, at 7:00 pm.
Yes, you too, can become a streamkeeper just like me! 😉
Similar to last year’s presentation, I will give an overview of Burnaby watersheds, and then focus on Byrne Creek and what sorts of activities volunteer streamkeepers do to help protect and restore natural habitat in the urban environment.
I’ll have lovely nature shots of the creek and ravine park, posters, streamkeeper handbooks and equipment, etc.
Suitable for all ages!
Hope to see you there.
I’ve had a stubborn spot on the sensor of my Nikon D7100 for awhile now. I could not remove it simply by blowing air at it.
I did some reading online (in particular this detailed article), and went out today and bought a pack of Sensor Swabs preloaded with Eclipse fluid. I was a bit hesitant, but followed the instructions.
The first swab didn’t do it, but a second swabbing appears to have dealt with the annoying spot.
The SEP 2015 (Salmonid Enhancement Program) workshop in Port Alberni, BC, on May 15-17 was a huge success. These events happen every two years, rotating among a variety of communities in British Columbia, organized by the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation, Department of Fisheries community advisors, and stewardship groups.
