It was originally very thin ice that covered a small muddy puddle – someone stepped on it. I like b/c it looks wild and crazy and interestingly chaotic. If I were a poet-artist I might call it “broken heart” or “crystal galaxy” or “collision of the wine glasses” or ??

Mount Cheam is a landmark of the Fraser Valley Region city of Chilliwack – about 2 hours drive from downtown Vancouver. My wife and I plan to do some hiking up there amongst the wild flowers this summer before we get too old. I had already taken some shots of Cheam when these geese flew into range – this is best of several shots.

I actually took this photo for a friend of mine who loves mechanical gadgets, but it ended up as a bit of a self-portrait … with all those lights in my head, I would caption it “Lights are on but nobody’s home!” As we entered this antique shop in Fort Langley,BC., we discovered more of these unique “Industrial Age Lamps” Tomorrow, I will post some photos of them.

My wife and I recently encountered this eagle swooping past us with a rather decomposed salmon in its talons. It landed on a nearby tree branch and fortunately I had my camera ready for action. I didn’t think this was a bald eagle, but found out later that it was an “immature bald eagle” – it takes them 4 years to get the classic white head look. Btw – it took me 40 years to achieve the same look! Their wing span is 80 inches – a little wider than I can stretch my arms. Click on an image for larger view.
A classic Christmas card photo …
Not sure why this was commissioned for Vancouver commuters or how much it cost the city, but it’s pretty funny! I bet the tree never envisioned a future like this – supporting the auto industry. Btw – Everyone knows that we are in an earthquake zone …
