Bridge & Boats

Green Timbers Urban Park

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.

Duck Waves

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.

Parking Lot Reflections

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.

Galiano Sandstone Sculptures

Some images from our recent stay on Galiano Island – one of the beautiful Gulf Islands between Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

Sandpiper Poses

I came upon this lone Stilted Sandpiper recently. This is the first time I have photographed one. I liked and posted all the images because each one is unique, contrasting and combining this lively leggy bird with its surrounding environment.
