The image captures a Cooper's Hawk given its plumage, perched on a thick, gnarled tree branch. The hawk is positioned in the center-right of the frame, with its body angled away from the viewer but its head turned to look directly at the camera. Its eye is a striking yellow-orange, sharp and alert, conveying a sense of intelligence and predatory focus. The bird's feathers are predominantly white on its underside, transitioning to a brown and white striped pattern on its back and wings, with darker barred markings on its tail feathers, which are partially visible. Its talons, a pale yellow, grip the rough bark of the branch.
The image features a single hawk perched on a dark, thin branch. The hawk is facing away from the viewer, looking over its left shoulder with an intense gaze. Its feathers are a mix of dark grays, browns, and whites, intricately patterned, particularly on its back where the feathers overlap in a scale-like fashion. The underside of its neck and chest are lighter, with fine streaking. The hawk's sharp, hooked beak is visible, as is its dark, round eye with a lighter iris. Its talons are firmly gripping the branch. The tail feathers are long and banded with darker gray and white stripes, ending in a lighter fringe. The branch it is perched on is rough and dark, with some texture visible.
Only seconds to capture this Cooper’s hawk before it slipped into the shade

The image is a close-up shot of a cluster of yellow daffodils in growing in the wild in Stanley Park. In the foreground, three daffodils are in sharp focus, their vibrant yellow petals and central trumpets clearly visible. They are supported by long, slender green leaves and stems. The daffodils are arranged in a gentle curve, with the tallest flower slightly to the left, followed by two others to its right. Behind these prominent flowers, the background is softly blurred, creating a bokeh effect. Numerous out-of-focus yellow circles reveal more daffodils scattered throughout the park.
Wild and radiant, an early spring unfolding in Stanley Park

The image features a single hooded merganser, a male, floating on a body of calm, water of lost lagoon. The duck is positioned slightly off-center to the right, facing to the left. Its most prominent feature is its head and crest. The crest is a magnificent display of black and white feathers, forming a rounded, fluffy shape that stands up from its head. The duck's head and neck are black, with a white patch on the cheek just below the eye. Its eye is a bright, piercing yellow, giving it an alert appearance. The beak is dark and slender, characteristic of a merganser.

The great blue heron is the central focus of the image, its wings fully extended as it flies horizontally across the frame. Its plumage is predominantly a mix of gray and blue tones, with intricate feather patterns visible on its wings and body. The bird has a long, slender neck and a pointed, yellow beak. Its legs are stretched out behind it, with visible claws. The heron's eye is a striking yellow color, offering a point of focus.
Noticing more great blue herons around the lagoon — a sure sign of the season shifting.

A Black-capped Chickadee, is the main subject of the image. It is positioned on a thin, brown tree branch that runs horizontally across the lower center of the frame. The bird has a distinctive black cap and bib, a white cheek patch, and light brown flanks. Its small black beak is slightly open, and its eye appears dark and round. The bird's feet, which grip the branch, are a bluish-gray color with sharp, black claws. The feathers are subtly ruffled, adding to the natural, unposed feel of the image.

A cartoon drawing of a couple walking in the rain sharing a dark-coloured umbrella. Other people are rushing past with different umbrellas; polka dotted, plastic, striped. They are walking a doodle in a raincoat which also has polka dots. The lady has a polka dot scarf on. She says to the guy, “In a few moments we’ll have walked across this panel into the unknown, how does that make you feel?”
Well the weather might be better… #seasons #raingear #westcoastliving

One happy fishersnake.... Not only have I never seen a Garter Snake swim, but this is the first time I have seen a Garter Snake fish, catch a fish, and eat a fish. You never stop learning and seeing new things.

Whistler and Blackcomb are known to have a significant population of black bears. Here is a shot I took of this curious little Brown Bear.
