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…
