Grading

Wonder what they're up to here?

Play

Was heartened to look over and see that someone (hopefully kids) had been building some sort of treehouse.

Trashed

Today was the New Westminster edition of the Shoreline Cleanup. This is just a small portion of what over 70 volunteers managed to gather from the edges of Annacis Channel in Queensborough. Not pictured are the car tire rims, oven and microwave!

Dome

BC provincial parliament building.

Helmcken

Helmcken House, situated on the grounds of the Royal BC Museum. Well, part of the house anyways.

First Nations bone awls and harpoon heads, dating ~2000ya. I forget for what the other pieces were used.

The Fannin Tower at the Royal BC Museum. This is the collections and research part of the museum.

Artist

New-to-me sculpture of Emily Carr, a local Victoria artist who did most of her paintings on the BC coast in the early 20th century. Check out her work.

Tangle

Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal

Cob

A cob house built a few years ago by volunteers. It serves as an organic popcorn stand.

Sasquatch

Sculpture at Klahowya Village in Stanley Park.

Jigging

Metis jigging at Klahowya Village.

First Nations carving.

Pelagic

Float like a Pacific Nettle jellyfish.

Waddle

Soar

Hannah and Helen, Pacific White-Sided Dolphins, performing at Vancouver Aquarium. Both were rescued from fishing nets (they were entangled) and deemed unreleasable back into the wild.

Unreal

One of two abandoned donkey engines (a steam powered winch) on the West Coast Trail. There is one at either end, each about 5km in.

From Wikipedia: "If a donkey was to be moved, one of its cables was attached to a tree, stump or other strong anchor, and the machine would drag itself overland to the next yarding location." For the life of me I cannot fathom how this happened considering the terrain!

Cable

Cable Car across the Klanawa River mouth.
