Enjoying the imminent onset of autumn? Are you nuts?
Nope, I love autumn. The coolness, the colours, the crisp and crunchy sound of leaves underfoot.
Autumn is a great time to view and photograph wildlife. Animals are active, knowing winter is coming, with some stocking up for the leaner months ahead, others migrating.
Here on the west coast of Canada, autumn also brings the iconic salmon back to local streams and rivers. It’s the season streamkeepers anticipate with hope for strong, healthy returns.
The new footbridge over Byrne Creek at the bottom end of the ravine trail is now sporting railings. While the bridge is not as “rustic” as the old one was, it’s still fairly woody for having a steel and concrete base.
This is just upstream of Southridge Drive in SE Burnaby, BC.
