We had a ramble this morning at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, walking from Byrne Road east out to the meadow and around and back.
A few sights along the way:
This chopper kept circling across the river in Richmond — likely related to the big fire yesterday.
Lots of snowberries around.
This stone has more cup holders than a minivan. . . It even has a cup. Sigh…
After visiting Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam, we walked the Shoreline Trail in Port Moody out to the Old Mill and the Old Orchard.
Northern Flicker
Killdeer
OId Mill
Spotted Towhee
We’ve never walked Lafarge Lake in the summer, but we’ve been to the Lights at Lafarge several times in the winter.
We succumbed 🙂

I posted this a few days ago, thinking it was some sort of wasp. I also put it on FB.
Several folks responded that it was a moth that imitates wasps or hornets. A friend suggested I post it to iNaturalist.
Pennisetia marginata
Also got a comment that this is the first time one has been reported on iNaturalist for the Surrey, BC, area.
.We took a walk around Serpentine Fen in south Surrey, BC.

The rare and elusive Salvador Dali wasp 🙂
UPDATE: Turns out this is a moth that imitates a wasp!
Look Ma, two heads! 🙂

Today’s waterfront walkabout west of Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver featured several birds ‘n beasts.
Permission to come aboard?
Yeah, the place is a mess, but who cares when the sun is out?
Mmm. . . Crab for lunch!
It was a gorgeous day to walk the waterfront west of Londsdale Quay in North Vancouver.
  
 
It was chilly and wet, and occasionally I took breaks from the rain under some of the lovely trees while venturing out to shoot these pearly blossoms on Burnaby Mountain in Burnaby, BC.
