A few photos I took while out between showers on the first day of fall.

Photography
Photos I’ve taken of scenery, interesting objects and other things.
A cute little snail
I saw this en route to my run earlier this week, but forgot to post the photo. Behold, this cute little snail, chugging along the trail.
One last shot of summer
Brunette River, taken on the last day of summer.
Hydrant and cone (with bonus flower)
A few things I shot while I was out today.
And a flower, slightly enhanced over real life:
A few moody shots of Burnaby Lake taken after my birthday run
Blue sky is nice for summer, but when you want mood, clouds deliver.
Spooky mountain
I updated the gallery for September 9th’s birdingpalooza. You can view the gallery in its original post, or at the bottom of this very post.
Not included is this black and white variant of a local peak. It looks kind of spooky. I like it.
And the gallery for September 9th:
Great blue heron and common merganser passing by in the shallows.

Alouette River, Pitt Meadows.
The Alouette River is also unfortunately a bit of a dumping ground in spots for abandoned boats.
Mighty mountain.

A glowing skull from Disneyland
…is a title I never thought I would use for a blog post. But here we are! It was a busy day and I didn’t take any photos outdoors, but I always take a photo of something, so today it was the glow-in-the-dark skull I bought at Disneyland over 40 years ago. It still glows in the dark, too.
I’m not sure why I bought it. I think it was $8 or $9, which was actually decent money back in the early 80s. And it was heavy. If I remember correctly, I bought it at the end of the evening, so only had to carry it to the parking lot. I was no dumb kid. At least not when it came to transporting heavy, glow-in-the-dark skulls.
A red flower
Seen today at Lougheed Town Centre.
Found on my street
I don’t know what or who is meeting, but I am curious.
A red fire hydrant
I’ve entered into an unofficial fire hydrant-posting competition on Discord. This is how the internet works now.
Today’s entry, while walking to uptown New West:
A few miscellaneous photos from around Burnaby Lake
Taken after my run, on a warm and sunny late summer day, shot on my iPhone 12.
They call him Flicker
We’ve had a northern flicker come bug-hunting outside our condo for a little while now, and today it seemed like it would stay long enough for me to grab a few shots, so I did. I had to shoot through a dirty living room window, so I did what I could to clean up the shots (they are grainy if you zoom in, alas). And it was almost too close at times to keep in frame. Shot with my Canon EOS M50.
