We caught the late rays at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, this afternoon, then headed home to relax by the tree.

Christmas Eve afternoon at the bird feeder.
Skytrain & Seabus Xmas Ramble
We covered a good chunk of the Skytrain system, heading up to Lonsdale Quay on the north shore, then all the way out to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, back downtown for some lights, and then home to Burnaby. A long but fun day.
The recent strong winds brought this tree down across the trail behind our place. I made a good choice in not going for a ravine walk the other day!
The usual gang of cormorants at Lonsdale Quay had an interloper.
Mountain woman! Reflection on Seabus terminal window.
Yumi squeezed into this kids ride at the quay. I should have dropped a coin in : – ).
And I found an empty throne and claimed it. . .
We enjoyed a few pieces by the Vancouver Youth Philharmonic at the Aberdeen Centre.

Hitting 10K Tweets on Twitter
This was not planned, but I just hit 10,000 Tweets within days of my 10th anniversary on Twitter.
I recall it took me several attempts to get into the flow, starting and stopping several times the first year, and then it just kept rolling.
I have no idea if this is near average, low, or high. Don’t really care, just find the nice, round 1K/year average interesting.
Lights at Lafarge in Coquitlam, BC
We enjoyed the Lights at Lafarge in Coquitlam so much last year that we had to go again tonight. Free event, just minutes walk from Skytrain!
Love the nature/animals theme. . .
Festive Lights at Burnaby Heritage Village Museum
Moody Deer Lake at Twilight
Spent awhile getting some moody shots of Deer Lake in Burnaby, BC, late this afternoon.
Northern Harriers at Centennial Beach in Delta, BC
I spent several hours wandering Centennial Beach and the Raptor Trail in Delta, BC, today. I usually see harriers there, and today I had almost given up and was heading back to the parking lot when a pair showed up.
Rice Lake, North Vancouver Mushrooms
We took a walk around Rice Lake in North Vancouver today, and also spotted lots of mushrooms in the North Vancouver Cemetery.

Pitt River Stream of Dreams
I spent an intensive three days this week at École Pitt River Middle School doing the Stream of Dreams Murals Society environmental education and community art project.
Years ago I was on the Stream of Dreams board for about seven years, and now I’m back in training to do some PT gigs helping out with delivering the program.
Thanks to Krystal and Cass of Echo Ecological for their guidance, patience, and good humour.
And thanks to all the students, teachers, and staff who participated! What a great bunch!
