This is where the recreational fun begins..... the tidal Pitt River meets the mouth of Pitt Lake. Accessible by boat alone, head straight towards the mountains, turn left and a whole world of nature opens up to the beauty of scenic Pitt Lake.
Amongst the Super Natural British Columbia setting, communities of beautiful lakeside homes are nestled along shorelines.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Lavenham in Suffolk is widely acknowledged as the best example of a medieval wool town in England.
In Tudor times, Lavenham was said to be the fourteenth wealthiest town in England, despite its small size. Its fine timber-framed buildings and beautiful church, built on the success of the wool trade, make it a fascinating place to explore today.
Although Lavenham goes back to Saxon times, it is best known as a medieval wool town. It was granted its market charter in 1257 and started exporting its famous blue broadcloth as far afield as Russia.
In the 14th century Edward III encouraged the English weaving industry and Lavenham began to prosper. However in the late 16th century Dutch refugees in Colchester began weaving a lighter, cheaper and more fashionable cloth and the woollen trade in Lavenham began to fail.
Most of the buildings in Lavenham today date from the 15th century, many of these were never altered due to the fall of the weaving industry. Consequently the town is still very much on the same scale as it must have been in the 15th century.
As the last light of the setting evening Sun hits the Pine Trees the lead Sandhill Crane launches to lead its family group back to its roost for the evening! This light only lasts for a very few minutes as the Pine Trees start to glow the color of the setting Sun.

Do you remember the Mendelian laws of inheritance? We've learned them in school on the basis of how the eye colours of fruit flies (the notorious Drosophila Melanogaster) are inherited to further generations according to dominant or recessive characteristics, although Gregor Mendel himself conducted his groundbreaking genetic experiments with pea plants. Unfortunately, the significance of Mendel's laws was never truly understood or acknowledged in his lifetime (1822 – 1884). His studies, however, were rediscovered three decades later, at the turn of the 20th century, and, following their rediscovery, American biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866 – 1945) began to experiment with Drosophila in his "Fly Room" at Columbia University. It was Morgan who discovered that genes are carried on chromosomes; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1933. Further Fly experiments (with a less successful outcome) were conducted by a certain Dr. Seth Brundle in 1986 (aka "The Fly"). So where exactly does my image come in here, you may have already asked yourself (if you haven't stopped reading my lengthy introduction long before – which I could totally understand). Well, during one of those numerous teaching experiments with fruit flies, which numerous generations of students have conducted ever since modern genetics became part of school curriculums, something must have gone very wrong. And who knows, maybe Dr. Seth "Brundlefly" Brundle himself had led one of those biology experiments? Experiments in which some dinosaur genes were mixed with those of an innocent fruit fly... Which resulted in the creation the biggest Drosophila the world has ever seen – the Olympic Brachosophila Megalogaster? Nonsense, of course, and you know it ;-) But doesn't this kaleidoscoped image of the Olympic stadium's interior (the roof, mostly, taken at a dutch angle) look just like an ultra close-up of a (fruit) fly's face? Not one that you'd like to see buzzing around your fruit bowl, that's for sure, but let's say that the other "third party genes" that were used in this crazy experiment came from a puppy. So this would be the friendliest, cuddliest giant dinosaur puppy fruit fly you'll ever come across :) OK, I'd rather stop before you start to believe that I was a part of those experiments as well ;-)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and take care, dear Flickr friends!
Drosophila Megalogaster – Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines :)
Ihr erinnert Euch doch bestimmt noch alle an die Mendelsche Vererbungslehre und die berühmte Drosophila Melanogaster mit ihren dominanten bzw. rezessiven Genen, die über die Vererbung der jeweiligen Augenfarbe entscheiden. Was wäre, wenn jemand bei einem der unzähligen Biologie-Experimente, die Generationen von Schülern mit Fruchtfliegen durchgeführt haben, nicht nur Fruchtfliegen(-Gene) gekreuzt, sondern evtl. noch ein paar Dinosaurier-Gene dazwischen gestreut hätte? Das Ergebnis könnte die größte Fruchtfliege sein, die die Welt je gesehen hat, die unglaubliche "Olympische Brachosophila Megalogaster" mit Augen so groß wie zwei Stadiondächer ;-) Nun ja, Ihr habt es schon erraten, dies ist eine kleine Spielerei mit einem Foto vom Olympiastadion für den Sliders Sunday. Ich hatte hier einfach aus Spaß mal eine Aufnahme mit schräger Perspektive gemacht und dabei überwiegend das offene Dach mit ins Bild genommen. Nachdem ich in Photoshop das Bild kopiert, gespiegelt und neu zusammengesetzt hatte, schaute mich plötzlich eine riesige (Frucht-)Fliege an ;-) Keine, die man gerne daheim um den Früchteteller herumschwirren sehen möchte, aber ich kann Euch beruhigen: Bei dem manipulierten Experiment kamen als "Drittanbieter-Gene" nicht nur die eines Dinosauriers hinzu, sondern auch die eines kuscheligen Welpen. Diese Fliege ist also gaaaanz lieb und verschmust und will bloß spielen ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund und passt auf Euch auf!

Crane positioned on a float barge
According to Wikipedia :
American Crane Corporation is an American manufacturer of construction cranes based in Wilmington, North Carolina. It manufacturers lattice boom crawler cranes with capacities ranging from 50 to 275 tons. The American Crane Corporation was founded in 1882 as the Franklin Manufacturing Company, and in 1892 the name changed to American Hoist & Derrick. The company manufacturers terrain cranes, crawler cranes and tower cranes. In 1998 American Crane Corporation was acquired by Terex for $27 million. The purchase of American Crane Corporation brought Terex a manufacturer of lattice boom cranes.

But it was worth it...at the lakeside haunt.
I have a feeling it's going to be a tough and hungry winter for these guys. Too many deer for the area they inhabit. No real predators, nor is hunting allowed.
Earlier this morning I came across one that was listless and barely acknowledged me when I came within 50ft.
Being careful with each other means we actively acknowledge that no two human beings have had the same life experiences or have experienced life the same way. We are the sum total of millions of moments and cell changes and just thinking about the chances that you'll meet someone you can connect with on a deeper level should feel miraculous.
But humans also become careless with each other, even in long term relationships. Humans ignore each other or assume things about each other easily. Don't be careless. Remember, you can never truly know what another person feels or thinks without opening your heart and making both time and space.
In the last few minutes of your life, it's very unlikely you'll be thinking about an amazing tweet or Instagram post. I hope each one of you is remembering what it felt like to be caressed and loved and how it felt to show this tenderness towards others in return.

Blackbucks are a common species of antelopes found in the bird sanctuary that I visited. They numbered in 100's with the ratio of females outweighing males by a big number.
The dominant males have their own female herd to protect and mate with. When a challenger comes along they engage in a behavior known as "Lekking". Something that I read as not very common in animal kingdom.
Both the males locked their horns and pushed each other till one of the males could not take it any longer. The defeated male then bent his head as if to acknowledge the loss and walked away. This behavior - I understand from literature - is to demonstrate to the females the male's prowess.
This happened 2-3 times with few different herds in the ~2500 acre grassland. It was fun to watch, but the full impact and meaning of those actions, I understood only after coming back and reading.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.

For the Month of January, we wanted to acknowledge these two wonderful creatures that are Hopey and Beanie. These two have been with us since the very beginning, constantly around for rp, reaching out to new players, welcoming everyone, making sure noone felt cast aside or ignored. They help out wherever possible, give input and advice when needed, and try their best to constantly be active in both our discord and inworld. Both of you are so appreciated, I am so happy i've gotten to know you both better, and I'm not surprised in the slightest that you both were chosen as this month's roleplayers of the month!
Alden B. Dow Home and Studio, also known as Alden B. Dow Home & Studio, in Midland, Michigan, was the home and studio that were the residence and acknowledged masterpiece of 20th century architect Alden B. Dow. The quality and originality of his work, as well as his association with Frank Lloyd Wright, have earned him lasting national recognition.
Construction for the first studio began in 1934, while the majority of the United States was struggling through the Great Depression. With the Dow Chemical Company located in Midland Michigan, the community had not been hit as hard as the rest of the country. Being that Alden was a child of the Dow Chemical founder, Herbert H. Dow, he had many opportunities within Midland to practice architecture.[4] The first studio was completed in 1935 and construction for the second studio began in 1936. The second studio was completed in 1937 163

Posting here to acknowledge Lori with so much thanks, and to point y'all to the collection she's made here, with pics that are far, far better than this one :D
Ellie at six months of age is showing off what she learned while watching Queen Elizabeth on TV (courtesy of her grandmother who is fascinated with anything Royal). She’s still working on some of the finer details such as pointing the palm of her hand towards her face because as we all know Royals don’t really acknowledge their subjects as much as wave graciously to themselves.
Let me allay your concerns here, this was just a brief foray into a different area of photography that I am not really all that excited about. The saving grace here is that her skin, like that of most infants, is pretty much perfect and I did not have to spend hours touching up skin blemishes or removing wrinkles.

This Great Egret was collecting nesting material. The male builds a nest platform from long sticks and twigs before pairing up with a female, and then both members of the pair may collaborate to complete the nest, though the male sometimes finishes it himself. The nest is up to 3 feet across and 1 foot deep. It is lined with pliable plant material that dries to form a cup structure. They don’t typically reuse nests from year to year.

Our school acknowledges that we work as visitors on the traditional territory of the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich), Lkwungen (Songhees), Wyomilth (Esquimalt) peoples of the Coast Salish Nation.
And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
A sad one from the archives given the news. Yesterday four people died at the National Capitol Building as they stormed Congress in a desperate depraved attempt to overturn the election. In serving a broken man's ego, they threatened our country's very foundations.
To not acknowledge the disturbance of January 6 with a vague fluffy post, would just be wrong, IMO. All Americans need to pray today, and hope there is a way to heal in spite of Trump.

In the background you may see the faint silhouette of Lion's Gate Bridge. Connecting Stanley Park to North and West Vancouver
The Lions Gate Bridge, opened in 1938 and officially known as the First Narrows Bridge, is a suspension bridge that crosses the first narrows of Burrard Inlet and connects the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, to the North Shore municipalities of the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. The term "Lions Gate" refers to the Lions, a pair of mountain peaks north of Vancouver. Northbound traffic on the bridge heads in their general direction. A pair of cast concrete lions, designed by sculptor Charles Marega, were placed on either side of the south approach to the bridge in January 1939. Wikipedia

Acknowledged as one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams, the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world as ambassadors for both the Royal Air Force and the UK. So expect plenty of flair and precision-flying when the team takes to the skies above RAF Fairford to demonstrate their breath-taking close-formation flying. The team formed at RAF Fairford in 1965 and flew Folland Gnat jet trainers until 1980 when they transferred to the BAE Hawk T1.
