More gorgeous autumn colours in Toronto, ON, on a recent trip.
We went to a wedding in Toronto, ON, recently, and had several lovely walks in the autumn colours.
One walk was along the Humber River where there were lots of people watching salmon returning to spawn, cheering when the fish got over a weir, and groaning when they slid back down, to try again. . .

A quick post-lunch walk in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC.
I heard a woodpecker on a post-lunch walk in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC. I soon spotted this Downy Woodpecker circling a dead tree, rapping on it for insects.

A selection of wee critters shot at One Mile Lake near Pemberton, BC, a few days ago. Still catching up from my camping trip to Nairn Falls. . .

I took a two-night camping trip to Nairn Falls Provincial Park just south of Pemberton, BC, on the last week before it closed for the season.
While I was there I did several loops of One Mile Lake, looking for wildlife and nature shots.
I chased this Pied-billed Grebe around for about an hour before I got this shot. It didn’t mind my presence, just kept hunting, diving and coming up, diving and coming up. . . until . . . success!
