Tonight I reserved a couple of nights camping in BC Parks in the autumn, and during the reservation process it hit me that society now considers me a senior citizen.
Half price is nice, eh?
But yikes! I’m still working full time, and intend to keep working for several more years.
Well not that blue. . . I had a good birthday despite sleeping much of the day fighting a summer cold.
It always helps to have Sora the Cat’s devotion, eh? She knows I’ve been ill and has been giving me extra cuddles.
A delicious Yumi-made fruit cup with ice cream, Studio Ghibli 40th Anniversary T, and Samurai Cat T! Woot woot! 
We took a couple of walks today, first in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC, where Yumi has been seeing accipeters in the woods. We then followed up with a stroll along the Fraser River in New Westminster, where we were excited to see an Osprey cruising down the river.
I took a morning walk around Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC, today. The highlight was coming across this Red-tailed Hawk in Ron McLean Park.
Took a short photo ramble at Fraser Foreshore Park.

The Red-tailed Hawk family nested near our townhouse in Burnaby, BC, again this year. Nice to see them!
I passed the Highland Valley Copper Mine west of Logan Lake, BC, on my camping travels. Wow! It’s huge. . .

Spotted a grouse, a Steller’s Jay, and a Douglas Squirrel while camping in Manning Park.
This was my first sighting of a Common Nighthawk. It was along highway 5A, but I don’t recall the exact spot.
