First, raw, by the succulent handful.
Second, garnish for morning multigrain flakes, afternoon treat ice-cream concoctions.
Next, muffins, pies…
Last, freeze some.

Trout, Wasp on Byrne Creek Walk
Happy to see lots of fish on Byrne Creek walk in SE Burnaby, BC, today.
This shot was taken very slowly and carefully : -)
Blossoms, Berry Buds, Thorns & Pond Self-Portrait
A few more shots from yesterday’s ramble.
Eagle, Craneflies, Dragonflies in South Surrey, BC
I was supposed to be up in Haida Gwaii this weekend for SEHAB meetings and tours of local stewardship projects, but a nasty stomach bug and fever that hit the night before the early Friday morning flight kept me grounded.
By noon today I was feeling good enough to get out and about again, so I consoled my loss of Haida Gwaii with a few hours shooting nature photos in South Surrey.

Dancing cranefly duo. Whoops, more likely some kind of wasps?
Nice To See Lots of Bees in South Burnaby
Saw lots of bees in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby today.
Plants in the Rain — Some Macro Minis
I took advantage of a lull in the rain to get some closeup shots around our front door and on our balcony. Also one of our turtle under her sun lamp.
For the photographers, these were shot with a Nikon D300 DSLR and my all-manual, some 35-year-old 55mm/3.5 Micro Nikkor.
Dori looks more orange than green with the warm color temperature of her basking lamp
The Cat and the Nap
Well that was a lovely nap.
Choco the cat kept following me around and “talking” to me this morning after my wife went off to her CPA study group.
I couldn’t figure out what Choco wanted. Food? Fed. Water? Watered. Cuddle? Rebuffed. Play? Ignored.
The cold, grey, rainy day should have been a clue.
At one point I went back upstairs to the bedroom and within seconds heard a bouncy jingle following me. She jumped up on the bed, and began talking again.
Oh, could it be…? I lay down, made an inverted V with my legs, covered up with a fuzzy blanket, and she slipped into the tent, curled up, and was snoring within a minute.
[Jeez those humans take long enough to understand!]
The snooze lasted about half an hour before she overheated, but that’s the highlight of my day so far 🙂 .
New Biz Headshot
Updated my professional photo for LinkedIn and other uses. Truth in advertising, eh? : -) The last one was about fifteen years old, and showed me out in the field in GoreTex doing some streamkeeping activity. This one is intended to look more corporate communicator, editor, writer…
