This beautiful park situated in the heart of Surrey, British Columbia is just minutes from our place. A great place for a stroll around the picturesque lake. The first 3 photos show that a busy beaver has been at work – but I’ve yet to see one.

Here is the Common Merganser Duck making some waves. I have no idea why this bird has such a weird name – maybe named after some famous duck enthusiast. I enjoy capturing the environmental water colours and textures as much as various waterfowl.

I met this fine eagle late December while walking along the Vedder River in Chilliwack, British Columbia. My zoom wasn’t too great, so had to crop this quite a bit. But I am quite happy with the images including the pine tree backdrop and the orange colour of beak and branch.

Parking Lot Reflections

Autumn, Contrasts, Reflections, Trees, Water

I drive past this playground parking lot almost daily, but have never seen it flooded. So when I drove by late one afternoon after a very heavy rain, I was intrigued by the chainlink reflections and the sweet lighting. I took these shots within a few minutes – interesting how different angles and viewpoints create different images.
