Another fine day at the beach. The tide was way out yesterday and the samdbars looked pristine.

Ah the first forest flowers of spring. Flowering currants add a spash of red to an otherwise brown and green landscape.

You just gotta love seagulls, or spamhawks as a friend so poignantly calls them. These birds have spunk and panache....

Sunset over a wave tossed sea at the mouth of Roberts Creek.

Ah spring blossoms, a great birthday present for me!!!

A murder of crows!?!

You just gotta love the rainforest. The light slanting through the old man's beard lichen and moss is magical and spectacular.

A misty morning in Roberts Creek, a very mystical sight.

Well the cherry trees are blooming already in Gibsons. Soon it will be pictures of tulips and irises!

I saw this fellow on my morning walk on the beach. Sometimes all the stars line up!!

The milky green waters of the Squamish River rush on below the icy Tantalus mountain range.

I love these little oystercatchers. They look so jaunty high stepping across the seaweed with their bright red beaks.

I felt a need to visit thr tropics on Monday so I caught a bus down to the Bloedel Conservatory to bathe in the humidity of this domed rainforest. The plants and animals are strange, exotic and interesting. I have no idea what this flower is.
