Garage Find Evokes Memories
Found this old memory machine in a box in the garage today. I remember using this as a kid, and the little cube flashbulbs.
No idea it was made in Toronto, Canada!
Chum Salmon Spawning in Byrne Creek
Was elated to find a pair of chum salmon paired off and spawning in Byrne Creek in SE Burnaby, BC, today. The female was flipping sideways and using her tail to dig a nest in the gravel for her eggs, while a male monitored her progress.
This year chum have been late returning, and sparse in numbers.

Nurse Sora. I’m certain cats know when we’re sick. Despite my heaving coughing bouts she’s stuck to me all day long and even placed a moratorium on her usually incessant demands for play. Thanks, sweetie…

Byrne Creek Spawner Patrol Still Comes Up Empty
Yumi and I did a spawner patrol on Byrne Creek in southeast Burnaby, BC, and still did not see a single salmon. That puts them nearly ten days late compared to the usual first sighting each year. But we still enjoyed the lovely colours!
This big shelf fungus almost matches one Yumi found a few years ago.

Kidney Pan Moon
As I was waiting for my ride to work this morning around 6:25, the moon was playing peekaboo.
There was just enough fog in the air that my Canon pocket cam had trouble finding focus.
