It’s a grey, grim day on the Burrard Inlet, but the North Van sulphur heap will have none of it.

Pizza Gull does not step aside.

Evenly spaced pilings standing near riverbank, South Arm of Fraser River. Grey sky and water, a red-berried shrub in the right foreground.

Grey today in Steveston.

That one!

Late November, late light, late apples.

Ginkgo leaves. The undersides are hydrophobic.

When it rains the bowling green is MINE.

A conversation.

Giant Panda, Ueno Station.

Ginkgos yellowing and Yamato. It’s a warm fall day in Chiba.

Woolly Bear time.

My love is far away with a typhoon a day away as I’m scrubbing a pot so when she’s back she won’t see I burned the stew because I was online worrying over the path of the storm.

Fountain on fire, Garden City Park.

The moon is the colour of a traffic cone.
Everything is fine.

Each van at the seafood store has its own gull. (Glaucous-winged.)

August 13, a view west down Bayview Street in Steveston, a wildfire sunset.

Last night’s sunset through smoke from a wildfire on Vancouver Island.

Team of 4 rowers, their coach in a small boat with an outboard motor, working things out on the Middle Arm of the Fraser River, No. 2 Rd Bridge and Vancouver’s North Shore mountains in the background.

No tsunami, thank you.
(Though here on the sheltered side of Vancouver Island, a big wave would be unlikely as I understand it.)

Magical!

I look forward to this weather. When you’re surrounded by mountains it’s nice to actually see them 🙂

Snow-capped Mt. Baker in northern WA, as seen from green farmland 100Km/60mi away in Delta BC, appears to be floating in a cloudless blue sky.

More like it.

Roadside post almost dead-centre in front of Mt. Baker.

The inevitable result of taking a picture of a distant mountain from a moving vehicle.

That makes sense. Thank you!

Pilings. A cannery was here? View from Brunswick Pt., Delta BC looking north across Canoe Pass (Fraser River) to Westham Island.

Yes. Lots of light precipitation, then clearing in the afternoon—except today.

Yes, I think so. A mature one that was already a good size when we moved here 20 years ago.

Bonkers!

Shrubs, trees, gardens here are as lush as I’ve ever seen. Trees from the East Asian collection at Garden City Park: Davidia (dove tree, handkerchief tree), dawn redwood, Chinese tulip tree. And the rhodos are bonkers.
