I was completely captivated by the patterns in the river through the trees. So much so that I almost didn’t see the amazing pine cones in the foreground. But then Wow! So cool.
True west coast weather - sunny one minute and rain the next.
Driftwood gathering on the beach from stormy seas.
‘Eye on the prize’
These eagles dive down with great perfection to get their catch from all heights. Their aerobic maneuvers as they go about gathering their next meal are not an easy feat to photograph, persistence with a little frustration thrown in pays off to make it all worth it.
Such amazing activity to witness with an incredible number of gathered eagles for this short window of opportunity to gather the hake fish in the current.
Taken while on a photography workshop with Stuart Clark and Stan Novotny, incredible experience!
The clematis of the Sylvia Hotel changing seasons as well at English Bay in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: We have been enjoying an Indian Summer here in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Until last weekend we've had summer like weather with lots of sunny and warm days. Day time temperatures were hanging around 20-25C/68-77F.
I have been searching for some fall colours, but most of the places I usually like to go take photos at are still pretty green. I ended up going to English Bay and found the clematis covered walls of the Sylvia Hotel turning on a fall colour show, so beautiful. It was my first time seeing these fall colours on this hotel. It was nice to see it for myself after seeing many photos of it in the past.
I took this photo of the Sylvia Hotel which is located at English Bay in Vancouver, BC, Canada. 🍁🍂🍁🍂

Some information about Vancouver: Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Deadpool 1 & 2", "The X-Files", "The Good Doctor", "Colony", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supernatural", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big gondola that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.

First fall colours spotted along the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: Fall has officially begun in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Our weather is on and off, with some sunny days and some rainy days. On one of the sunny days, I enjoyed a walk in Stanley Park in search of some fall colours. Some trees are vibrantly coloured already and others are still green. But one of my favourite trees in Stanley Park is looking vibrant already. Yay, may favourite time of the year has started! I can't wait to go capture some more fall scenes soon.

The black bears of Vancouver Island and BC traditionally mate from early June to mid July. There is an interesting phenomenon called delayed implantation, the embryo does not implant in the uterus and begin developing until October or November. Fetuses develop only if the mother has stored enough body fat and other nutrients to survive overwinter and provide milk for her cubs until she resumes feeding in spring.
Cubs are born during hibernation in January or February. Black bears usually have two cubs, but litter sizes vary from one to five. During hibernation the mother will nurse these tiny, blind hairless babies weighing about .5kg (1lb). By the time the cubs leave their hibernation den in the spring, they will weigh between 3 - 5 kg ( 6.6 - 11lbs).
The cubs will stay with the mother the first year and sometimes longer while learning how to survive and for their protection. They will hibernate with their mother the first winter and then later into the second spring they go off on their own. They often stay within their mother’s range for a short time before finding a new home range, the males tend to leave before the females.

Out for some much needed fresh air and exploring today, felt so good to be outside.

Fall colours along the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: The first signs of fall are a fact here in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I enjoyed a visit to Stanley Park a few days ago and was so happy to see some leaves that are changing colours. I think it will be a couple more weeks before the colours will be in full swing. We are also enjoying an Indian Summer with quite a bit of sunshine and summer like temperatures (around 20C/68F).
This tree is one of the first the change colours in the park and it's such a pretty scene with the Lions Gate Bridge in the distance. The sun was hitting the tree just nicely and a lady on her bike just drove by when I took this photo.

This is where the dance begins..... the tidal Pitt River meets the mouth of Pitt Lake. Accessible by boat only, head straight towards the mountains, turn left and a whole world of nature opens up to the beauty of scenic Pitt Lake.
Beautiful British Columbia

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.
