A few photos I took on a pleasantly warm and sunny late spring afternoon with an iPhone 12 that Tim Cook is really hoping I’ll upgrade in September.
Shot on my iPhone 12.
What the title says. It’s a little weird how the shots almost look like they were taken at different times of day.

Two hydrants1Photographing hydrants has become a thing in the gaming group Discord channel, don’t ask me why or how, but I somehow started it I saw yesterday, one with a handsome yellow/red/black colour scheme, the other out of order for unknown reasons. Plus bonus scenery.
And the Brunette River, looking ever more lush as we head toward the midway point of spring:
Shots of the Brunette River, taken on a pleasant April afternoon.
All photos taken on my iPhone 12. I actually had my camera with me in case I saw a bird of paradise, but I was too lazy to actually take it out of the bag. I am a bad photographer.
Brunette River showing more green along its shores, plus a bonus great blue heron in the lower-left corner. Ignore the bit of the new SkyTrain maintenance yard construction also on the left. As the vegetation does it thing over the next few months, most of that should be blotted out, preserving the illusion of untouched nature.
I like these kinds of illusions.
And it allowed me to get this shot of the Brunette River. It was also drizzly in that “doesn’t seem like you’re getting wet but end up soaked by the time you get home” way. But worth it, because I touched a tree.
Shot yesterday (Jan. 23) on my iPhone 12, on a gray, wet winter day.
I went to Hume Park yesterday to shoot a few pics and enjoy the refreshing chill of -9C weather.
The water level has dropped enough that I can get back to my usual photo-taking spot, so here is a look east down the river at Lower Hume Park, looking all chilly and such in the morning light.
We just had one of those fun atmospheric rivers come through the area, and they always live up to the name, dumping huge amounts of water before moving on.
This afternoon I made a trip with my camera to Lower Hume Park and found the field to be squishy, muddy, and very marsh-like. There were ducks.
And seagulls and crows. And up top, some golden-crowned sparrows and several elusive juncos. The light was not great, but I got a few decent shots (I’ll post more later). Here’s a crow I shot on the way back home:
And a shot of the still very high Brunette River:
Taken while out on an afternoon walk.
