We headed out to the North 40 Reserve Park in Delta, BC, and the Historic Stewart Farm in Surrey, BC.
It was quiet at both sites, but got a few wildlife/nature shots.
I didn’t feel like carrying Big Bertha, my 150-600mm Tamron, so all of these were shot with an 18-400mm Tamron using an FTZ adapter on a Nikon Z50.
And thank you to Yumi, my amazing spotter. Always good to have a second set of eyes along that also love nature and wildlife!

It was cold, damp, and quiet on a walk at Fraser Foreshore Park in south Burnaby, BC, this morning. There were lots of chickadees, a couple of finches, and a Great Blue Heron.


Nom nom. . .




What a great day to welcome a new City of Burnaby Environmental Planner to Byrne Creek, as an “atmospheric river” of torrential rain hits the lower mainland and beyond. . . !


New pair of hard disks arrived today. 12TB — if my poor math is right, that’s about 600,000 times larger than the first hard drive I bought and installed in the late 1980s — I think it was 20MB

The computer was a no-name 8088 that was built from parts from Akihabara in Tokyo, originally with a pair of 5-1/4″ floppy drives. There was a foreign guy who built PCs. Adding the HD was a huge advancement back then!
