The photograph captures a close-up view of an American Coot as it glides across Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park. The bird is predominantly black, with sleek, dark feathers that appear almost iridescent in the light. Its most striking features are its bright red eyes and the distinctive white frontal shield on its forehead and beak. The beak is also primarily white, with a reddish-brown mark at the base of the frontal shield.

Still water.
A slow approach.
A flash of red.

The image captures a close-up view of a male Common Goldeneye duck perched on a dark, rough-textured log that occupies the lower portion of the frame. The duck is facing to the left, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. Its most striking feature is its iridescent emerald green head, which gleams in the light, contrasting with the white patch just below its beak and its bright, alert yellow eye.

Emerald head, golden eye… and one perfect white cheek.  ❤️ A Common Goldeneye glowing in the soft light at Lost Lagoon.

Great news! #StanleyPark's stagnant #LostLagoon closer to being reconnected to ocean after more than a century of being marooned and becoming a swamp of green algae. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/sta...

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.

blonde young female nude model lays, reclined, on a fallen treetrunk deside a body of water, he rlegs stretch away from the camera, her torso slightly turned allowing her to look backwards, slightly, at the camera enhancing view pf her small but pert breasts and perky nipples. this shot was taken shortly after a wind storm ripped through Vancouver, this location being on the banks of Lost Lagoon, along the very public pedestrian stroll by lakeshore. It was very public and we were 'spotted' by many a passerby.

The image shows a female belted kingfisher around lost lagoon in Stanley Park gliding through the air, its blue and white plumage sharp against the soft, out-of-focus background. The bird's wings are partially extended, showing the intricate patterns of its feathers. The kingfisher has a white chest and belly, and its blue colouring is particularly striking. The background consists of greens, browns, and hints of golden light filtering through the trees, creating a bokeh effect. The overall atmosphere is one of natural beauty and tranquility, capturing a fleeting moment in the life of the bird.

Just a moment of flight, beautifully caught — a female belted kingfisher in Stanley Park.

The image captures a serene scene on a foggy day at Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon, featuring a group of wood ducks. The ducks are swimming peacefully on the calm water, their reflections subtly visible. The fog creates a soft, muted backdrop, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of the scene.

So foggy in Vancouver lately that Lost Lagoon feels like a dream, with wood ducks gliding through the calm.
