They are a sure sign of spring, sometimes called “wake robins” as they bloom in the spring and about the time robins return. A perennial native to BC, they should never be picked for two reasons; the 3 leaf-like bracts below the flower are the plant’s only source of food, and it is likely to die or take many years to recover and it is illegal to pick them in several areas and in all national parks. After germination, a trillium first produces only one leaf and requires another 6-7 years before it flowers for the first time! So just enjoy them as you stroll through the forests and leave them be for the next person to enjoy. As the bloom ages the petals turn pink to maroon in color often extending the display well into early summer.
Fun fact about trilliums is that the seeds are spread by ants. They have a fleshy organ that produces small fruits that attracts the ants. The ants then take the fruits to their nest, where they eat the nutritious part and dispose the still viable seed therefore aiding in the dispersal of the seeds.

I came across a pair of coyotes just before sunset. One of them decided to hunt for rodents by diving in the snow. It was successful and briefly posed with its prey in its mouth.

When it is low tide, everyone rush out there to find his or her own treasure. It can be small calms and crabs. No wonder Iona Beach has been quite popular these days.
I guess you can get yourself a big dinner by spending a couple hours treasure hunting here.
