As we were sipping our coffees this morning we heard eagles. Looked out the window, and saw this pair of beauties. What a glorious way to start the day!

Great times with Stream of Dreams Murals Society building nest boxes at Central Elementary in Coquitlam.

It’s such joy doing the Stream of Dreams watershed education program, and then coming back to a school again and expanding the education and hands-on participation to other habitat enhancement.

The kids built homes for many bird families today. Looking forward to checking out the avian uptake in the spring!

I walk this trail several times a week, and these ‘shrooms were not there just a few days ago. Well there were a few, but nowhere near what was there today. I love how they can, er, mushroom seemingly out of nowhere so quickly.

Today’s Byrne Creek walk ended in near darkness. While I love this light, I’m looking forward to days getting longer again. . .

Almost home as darkness falls

Spotted this cutie at the stop log in the sediment pond on Byrne Creek in SE Burnaby, BC. It bopped around a bit and then headed up the culvert. My heart stopped for a moment when I saw a heron in the culvert, but the little fuzzbutt made it past OK.

I shot all these different kinds of mushrooms within a few dozen meters of each other in North Vancouver today. Didn’t pick any, as I know just enough about mushrooms that some are dangerous, and I don’t have the knowledge to identify them.
