Trees and the river, June 9, 2024
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.

More spring springing, 2024 edition
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.
I added something new to my to-do list today
It’s set to repeat daily, endlessly:
You might be thinking, “What kind of hippie malarkey1Malarkey is officially my Word of the Week. is this?” And I would answer, it’s the best kind!
Because what “Touch a tree” really means is go outside for a walk and do it somewhere with nature and junk, not just down the sidewalk to the local Subway. Which I can do as there are areas like that no more than 10–15 minutes walking time from where I live.
And yes, today, I did touch a tree (I kind of cheated, because it was near a sidewalk, though I was not close to a Subway at the time).
Some phone photos from the third week of December 2023
And one from October 27, 2023.
A few random photos, November 19, 2023
Taken while out on an afternoon walk.
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.

A shot taken as I was out and aboot on a walk. River in full tranquil mode.
Field fungus
After today’s run, I spotted a clutch of mushrooms, possibly aided by the showers on Monday and Tuesday. I snapped a few quick photos and here they are in a lovingly handcrafted mini-gallery.

Brunette River from a bailey bridge
This is looking north from the bailey bridge on Braid Street that connects New Westminster to Coquitlam. It offers a rather nice view of the Brunette River.
