Deck Bug

August 17, 2015

deckbug-105799

Saw this monster on our west-facing deck. It can fly…a bit. Does anyone know what this is?

(it’s a couple of centimetres long)

Creek Bed

Creek Bed Shadows

During a recent long solo hike, I heard odd splashing sounds on the trail ahead. I surprised two large black ravens (all three of us startled…).
The ravens had somehow found water in this dry ravine.

Patient Friends

Patient Friends

A visitor waits in the shade of downtown Ganges.
He told me—smiling as he said it—that he’s learning patience from his canine friend.

Early Morning Visitor

5 AM Visitor

This young buck—crunching and munching through the salal in front of our house—makes an effective 5 am wake up call.
Cameron (the Westie) echoes that. Literally. With gusto.

Orca Family Sunset Swim

 

Orcas. A mother and calf swim by at dusk.
A bit far for a good look from shore, even with a long lens. But it was still a special moment! A dozen or so individually swam by over a period of 20 minutes, each surfacing occasionally for a couple of seconds.
The mother and calf were the only two swimming together and they were perfectly synchronized.
