When stuck where all you can take pictures of is one thing, pretty much all you do take pictures of is one thing. So I take a picture of the mountain (Lhilheqey, Mount Cheam, Cheam Peak) almost every day I can

An up Portsmouth train, composed of class 411 EMU, crosses Station Way on 3 April 1972. The train is about to pass the former LBSCR signal box with a late-model mark 1 Ford Cortina for company. Whilst this view is still possible, the sheer amount of trees will render the train almost invisible!

Last week I visited the Cheam Wetlands east of Chilliwack and I got to watch three Hairy Woodpeckers work their way through some low trees. There was a Downy Woodpecker hanging around but got driven away.

A beautiful January day had my friend and I heading out to see what we could find to take pictures of. This scene of the mountains out towards Chilliwack, B.C. was taken on Sumas Moutain near Empress Dr. (23-01-14-0188)
Tulips grown by: NOS Greenhouses Ltd.
Agassiz, BC Canada
Starting April 1 and running through at least April 12, the tulips fields are a short drive from Vancouver and an afternoon spent wandering the fields is an afternoon well spent
The festival, now in it’s 9th year, is organized by local Agassiz greenhouse, Tulips of the Valley in partnership with Onos Greenhouses who owns and grows the tulips, and uses the bulbs to produce cut tulips that are sold throughout western Canada and the US. As a result, all of the tulips on display at the festival come from Canadian-grown bulbs!
While you visit the festival enjoy fresh Dutch Stroopwafels, Bannock and other treats from the Agassiz Farmers Market and be sure to visit the Tulip Stand (open until Mother's Day) for bulbs and fresh-cut tulips

Cheam Peak, called Theeth-uhl-kay in the Halqemeylem language of the Sto:lo and usually referred to as Mount Cheam, is the farthest northerly peak of the Cheam Range, a subrange of the Skagit Range of the Canadian Cascades mountains. It dominates the eastern Fraser Valley, rising above Bridal Falls and Agassiz just east of Chilliwack, and west of Hope British Columbia. The north face, plunging 2,000 m (6,562 ft) to the Valley floor, has rarely been climbed. However, an easy trail provides access to the summit from a subalpine bowl to the southwest.
Round-trip 9.5 km, elevation gain of 700 meters. Solo hike
The deactivated forestry service road to Mount Cheam has numerous washed-out sections and large ditches. My 4x4 car took over an hour to go through the last 12 kilometers.

An outing with the granddaughters to Cheam Wetlands. They were delighted to see many of these turtles sunning on logs
During this period the Metropolitan Police placed a huge emphasis on home beat officers, who worked from home, and were responsible for the area local to their residence and would have a very close concern of how their own area was policed. Their main mode of transport was the trusty and faithful pedal cycle, a simple but extremely effective mode of transport to perform this type of police duties.
The officer in the picture (Police Constable 631 'Z' John Holley) was attached to Sutton Police Station (ZT) pictured aboard his Raleigh, black, gents pedal cycle. he was responsible for policing Cheam Village and the surrounding area.
Depending on crime trends and local events the officers could select their working hours that would have the best effect for the residents. Officers selected for this position would not be treating this community role as a 'job', but, most importantly, as a vocation.
Police Community Support Officers (PCSO's) were not even on the horizon in those days (this cannot be over emphasised). How things have changed in a very short time!
