Haunted Eve

Tumble down

Lynn Creek as it passes through the canyon.

Giant Animals

Especially important in today's world of near total city and digital living are education centres, such as the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre. Everyone needs to learn about nature and humanity's role in it (not over it; the correct preposition is important).

Wild

Keeping black bears away form human areas is difficult when said human areas are in the bears' area.

Look!

Sage advice when crossing roads.

Big Leaf Maple

This is what the ground in every local park looks like these days.

Going Down

Sometimes the meaning behind street signs isn't completely clear.

Something Spooky

After work tonight a friend and I visited Potter's Haunted House, a yearly event where a local nursery builds an elaborate haunted house that scares the bejeezus out of everyone who enters.

Curvilinear

Conkers

Beware the chestnut tree! Nearly got conked on the head as I walked past.

Owlish

Graffiti under the Patullo Bridge.

Blazing Oranges

Beautiful autumn day. Great day for a walk in a small park.

Unions

Some of the unions represented at the Occupy Vancouver demonstration today.

Soak in the View

Beautiful view from the edge of the cranberry field. The mountain off in the distance is the very tall Mount Baker, in Washington State (USA). It's about 3200m tall, and is a (not very) active volcano.

The Separator

After travelling through the long pipes, the cranberries and water are separated as they are pushed upwards towards this contraption at the top of the shipping container loaded on the back of a truck. I think I heard that this container holds something like $30 000 worth of cranberries.

Cranberry Travels

After the cranberry boom part of the process, the cranberries and water travel through this tubing along the dykes in the field to reach the final stage: the sorter and shipping truck. Stay tuned!

Cranberry Boom

It was the annual Fort Langley Cranberry Festival today. To celebrate, I visited the Fort Wine Co and got to see part of the cranberry harvest in process. The cranberries are being sucked into a pipeline that runs them to the loading truck, after which they will be taken to the winery and made into delectable cranberry dessert wines.

Rumour has it, this cranberry bog is haunted by a ghost!

Stormin'

Love the light. Blue sky on one side, storm clouds on the other. There's mountains buried under those clouds!

Crushed

Wonder where that barge is heading with all of those crushed automobiles?

Sunflower Corner

Urban gardening in a disused spot next to the best burger joint in town.

The Fuzz

Just another typical night in downtown Vancouver.

Fairyland

Mini fairy home spotted on the way to visit a friend.

Guerilla Gardening

Gardening project created for unfortunate apartment dwellers who cannot convert their backyard into a food making centre. This one is near Joyce SkyTrain Station just across the border from Burnaby into Vancouver. There are quite a few of these around, making good use of what is essentially wasted space.

Standing Guard

These stumps always look like faces to me. The grooves were cut to place boards for the loggers to stand on as they sawed through metre upon metre of tree.
