Mmm. . . Crab for lunch!

Sunny Walkabout Near Lonsdale Quay
It was a gorgeous day to walk the waterfront west of Londsdale Quay in North Vancouver.
Moody Skies at Porteau Cove
I stopped at Porteau Cove on my way home from a jaunt up the Sea to Sky.
I pretty much always stop there, because. . .
Rambling Steveston Boardwalk, Visiting Obachan’s Garden
I had an errand to run in Richmond, BC, today, so I tacked on a couple of hours at Steveston wandering the boardwalk, and old cannery and boat-building structures. There are endless photo opportunities here amidst this blending of First Nations, European, Japanese, and Chinese cultures.
I also like to visit Obachan’s Garden. It looked in fine fettle, a bit wild but beautiful. You can find Linda Ohama’s film on the NFB website here.
Black Bear at Nairn Falls Provincial Park, BC
Black bear at the campground at Nairn Falls Provincial Park south of Pemberton, BC, this morning. We’d just finished our breakfast and were packing up our camping gear when Yumi Kosaka spotted it calmly ambling through the woods scarfing berries.
No worries, these were shot a respectable distance away with the equivalent of a 600mm telephoto.
Then a little girl of around six or seven came by on her wee bicycle, saw us watching the bear, and began to drift in the bear’s direction like a moth to a flame.
“Whoa, sweetie, you stay right here.”
Other adults appeared and began passing the word, and as we drove out we spotted the campground attendant and let her know where the bear was, what direction it was moving in, and that it was happily feeding on natural resources.
Duffey Lake Road
After camping overnight at Nairn Falls Provincial Park, we took the long way home via the Duffey Lake Road and Lytton. We like doing this loop at least once a year.
