We enjoyed tramping around Centennial Beach in Delta, BC, today. It’s one of my favourite places to look for raptors and we were not disappinted.

We walked around Deer Lake in Burnaby, BC, today. It was overcast and drizzling, but the muted colours were lush and lovely.
Look out, there’s that tree hugger again!

There were a couple of Anna’s Hummingbirds at our front door today, and American Robins were chowing down on these berries in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC. An Orbweaver spider was also at our door.
To celebrate River’s Day, the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers Society, the Lower Mainland Green Team, and the City of Burnaby partnered to pull invasive plant species.
It was a gorgeous, sunny day for an outdoor activity.
It’s great volunteering with the Green Team for they provide sanitized equipment and oversee protocols for the safety of participants.

It was great to be back in an elementary school helping to deliver the Stream of Dreams Murals Society watershed education and community art program!
There has been some remote program delivery, and while getting the message across, it doesn’t compare emotionally with being in a school.
With careful protocols, some adjustments to delivery, and repeated and thorough sanitization between each class, today’s sessions went smoothly, and several teachers said they loved the program!
And of course team members, teachers, and students are masked at all times.
Team members are cross-trained to do both the watershed/environment education part of the program, and supervising kids through the Dreamfish painting.
The fish will eventually be installed as a beautiful mural on the school’s chain-link fence to remind students, their families, and the entire neighbourhood that All Drains Lead to Fish Habitat!
