My goal in walking around Hume Park today was to take shots of things I don’t normally take shots of, or to shoot things from different angles. One of those “see things in new ways” kind of things.
Random shots around Hume Park

Fall, with the leaves and the colours and the whatnot
A photo I took this morning:
Leave it to beaver
The beavers tried to take out this tree on the Brunette River–and another one a short distance away. I wonder why they never finished the job.
Photo of the Day: Coastal mountains
As seen from Sapperton Landing. This is where I like to see the snow: way up in the mountains, far away from me.

Here they are!
Ladybug on a leaf
Out on a walk today and I spotted a ladybug strolling along a leaf on a tree.
Yes, it’s photo day on my blog! Or something.
62 and counting (plus trees and other wood)
After reaching 60 posts, I realized that if I posted 62 it would be the most ever in a month, and I’ve been blogging since 1897 2005! So naturally I had to do it.
This is Post #62.
Here’s a photo I took at Burnaby Lake back on September 2 showing a pair of dead trees next to a pile of plywood. I wanted to say something clever or profound about this juxtaposition, but couldn’t come up with anything good, so never posted it.
UNTIL NOW.
Enjoy.
(And think of your own clever or profound observation on this.)
Photo of the day: Grasshopper
These things are currently everywhere. This one was at Sapperton Landing, by the Fraser River.

I’ll have more posted from our birding today, but for now, fungus! At Burnaby Lake.
Photo of the Day: A wet leaf
That’s right, a wet leaf. The showers today were wonderful.
I’ll be complaining about the rain in roughly two weeks.
A frond by the river
After copious amounts of walking and running the past week, I took it a bit easy today and just did a walk down to Hume Park and back.
Here’s a pic of a prickly branch hanging out over the river.

A few of the random photos I took while out and aboot today.
The Brunette River was unusually low, so I could get in to spots that are normally inaccessible without getting very wet. Here’s one of them:
It was Victoria Day and it seemed like all the birds had the day off. I did spot some wood ducks hanging out in the river, but wasn’t able to get any really good shots of them. Here’s one, anyway!
It’s just your basic dandelion, but I like the composition:
And here’s a shot of the big ol’ tree that fell last November, again from a perspective not normally available. It’s kind of weird how it forms an almost perfect bridge.
