It was nearly impossible to walk the beach at Cates Park in North Vancouver this afternoon without fear of stepping on something.

I shot over a dozen varieties of wee crabs in various colours and patterns, ranging in size from my pinky fingernail to my thumbnail.

What a blast!

As we were rambling around in North Vancouver today, Yumi heard the sound of young birds begging. She soon spotted this lovey sapsucker coming in with food delivery.

I got a few shots but we din’t stare too long, not wanting to disturb the family.
