Lovely sky on the Sea to Sky.
Two versions shot a few minutes apart. One mostly grey, another with more blue.
Remembering to Check Device Firmware
I have a DLINK DIR-880L 8-port wired/wireless LAN router. The only issue I’ve had with it is that some WiFi devices will not connect unless I reboot the router. I put up with this for some time before it occurred to me to check the firmware.
Well, sure ’nuff, when I logged in to the router today, there was an update available. In fact my router was running 1.01 and the latest version is 1.05.
I have upgraded to the latest firmware, and will see if it performs better.
I’ve posted before about upgrading firmware in cameras, and I need to remember that all sorts of other devices have firmware that can be upgraded, too.
Cormorant in Changing Light at Deer Lake
I spent a couple of hours shooting at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, BC, this afternoon. I saw this cormorant, and it sat on this log for over an hour as I walked here and there, returning to it several times to capture it in changing light.
South Burnaby Clouds from Taylor Park
There were lovely clouds again on our walk this morning in SE Burnaby, BC.
Give me a push?
Zoom! Yee-haw!
Toothpicks Essential When Feeding Treats to Turtle
This is why it’s a good idea to use toothpicks when feeding a turtle. She doesn’t bite on purpose, but sometimes she gets carried away, especially when given an uncommon treat like bits of steamed kabocha squash this evening.
Fortunately she spits out the bits of toothpick that she bites off in her eagerness. Sometimes we feed her treat using chopsticks.
Eagles, Snow Geese, Herons at Iona Beach near YVR
Spent a couple of hours at Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR today. There were lots of bald eagles, flocks of snow geese, a few hawks, and some herons.
Not sure… rough-legged hawk?
Busy Day Means Late Ramble
Got off on my near-daily Burnaby south slope ravine walk a bit late today.
Lovely South Burnaby Skies
It’s been a great winter for beautiful skies in south Burnaby, BC, ranging from inspiring to moody. Here’s a shot taken from Taylor Park during a one-hour ramble on south slope trails.
Marauding Merganser
I watched this common merganser swim in the overflow pond and the sediment pond in the Byrne Creek artificial spawning habitat in SE Burnaby, BC. Don’t see these in Byrne that often.
After awhile I guess it had enough of being observed and flushed spectacularly, zooming right over us. I whipped my wee Canon pocket camera up and got this shot full of motion and blur, but I kinda like it!
Too bad I didn’t have a much faster DSLR at hand…
New Westminster BC Quay
Lovely sunny day for a walk along the quay.
