The weather the past week has been uncharacteristically beautiful - cool and clear. I’m sure it cannot last, and so to take advantage Justine and I drove down to Boundary Bay to go for a walk along the trails and see what we could see.
Read MoreA Fall Visit to Reifel
With the fall surge in the COVID pandemic, we’re once again stuck closer to home. Justine was quick and booked a slot on Sunday morning to head down to Reifel and spend the morning out on the trails, and doing some bird watching. The weather has been beautiful, so it was great to get out of the house and get some fresh air.
I’m not going to add a lot of commentary - just pictures of birds, so you are forewarned….
Read MoreDeer Lake Park - Fall Walk
The weather this past weeked has been really nice and we wanted to make the most out of it. So we decided to head to BUrnaby and go for a walk around Deer Lake, at Deer Lake Park. It wasn’t the most exciting trip, but it was a nice day and we got outside for a bit.

Read MoreFraser River Evening Walk
Justine and I have been pretty good about getting out for walks during these COVID times. Mostly it’s been very local - within the neighborhood - but every once in a while we go a little further afield. The other afternoon, a bit spur-of-the-moment, we decided to go for a walk along the Fraser River at the south end of Vancouver.
Read MoreVancouver Mural Festival
Every year, there is a Vancouver Mural Festival where artists are invited to brighten up parts of our city. It’s been going on for 5 years, and there are some pretty cool things around town after this amount of time. Last week, Justine, Nicole (a friend of Justine’s) and I took a few hours one night to follow the app and ride around the east side of town to have a look.
Read MoreA Few Projects - Both on Galiano and At Home
It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper posting. That’s mostly because we’ve been stuck at home and there hasn’t been lot interesting to share. The past couple of weeks there’s been a bit more going on, so I’ve got some fun things to share. It’s a combination of some little projects we’ve tackled on the island with some work we’re doing around the house. And of course birds. And flowers.
Read MoreA Late Post of Spring Flowers
Earlier this spring (April I think) I had been out for a walk and took a bunch of pictures of spring blossoms. I completely forgot about them, and never did anything with the pictures. So here are a bunch of random shots, just so I have something to post.
Read MoreVancouver Spring Flowers
Spring-time in Vancouver is one of the best times of year. Sadly, we’re all a bit cooped up this spring. As it was a beautiful week this week, I needed to get out and stretch my legs, and so I thought I’d share some of the beauty of the spring bloom for those of you in parts of the country still locked under winter’s spell. Not a lot of words, mostly pics.

It feels like the weather has finally turned, and we’re headed into spring. Justine and I went out for a walk to enjoy the sunshine, and came across quite a few indications that maybe spring has arrived!
Read MoreSnowy Vancouver
The past week or so we’ve had our annual blast of winter. Not what the rest of Canada is used to, but for us out here on the west coast it’s a bit of a hassle. Still, it’s unusual and the city is quite beautiful in the snow. I got home a bit late the other night, just as the snow started up again and so I decided to head out for a bit and see what my camera could capture.
