I took an overnight camping trip up the Sea to Sky, staying at Alice Lake.
Yesterday morning I went up to One Mile Lake near Pemberton, and came upon four Trumpeter Swans. I’d never seen swans there before. I guess they were transiting, and dropped in for a fuel up and a rest.

I took advantage of a late work shift to do a Byrne Creek Ravine Park ramble in SE Burnaby, BC, this morning. Lots of birds and assorted blossoms. . .

Will get around to sharing some GoPro video another day. . .
I walked the Still Creek corridor near Willingdon Ave. in Burnaby, BC, this morning while the car was being serviced. While the creek is basically a fairly stagnant ditch in this area, there’s still lots to be seen!

I came across this interesting Solar EV Charging station in the parking lot at Garry Point Park in Steveston, BC, today.
The panel appears to track the sun. . .
We don’t have an EV, yet, but I’ll have to check this out in more detail!
I took a slow lap around Garry Point Park in Steveston, BC, today, and then walked the dyke a bit before the chill and increasing drizzle pushed me back to the car.

We saw several Anna’s Hummingbirds on a walk along the Fraser River in New Westminster, BC, today.
A back-of-a-desk-drawer find tonight.
I do not recall doing a marathon in Guam.
I do remember running an event there, but it was more likely a 10K.
I also remember two other things while I was there:
1) I bought a nice Hawaiian-style shirt. The saleswoman in the hotel shop quided me to a more subdued one than my initial choice. I remember she said “you don’t want to go back to Japan looking like a Yakuza!” 
2) I badly sunburned the tops of my feet while relaxing for a day or two after the race — the only area I forgot to slather with sunscreen. . .
