Once again thank you very much for visits, favorite and comments. It's much appreciated.
False Creek near downtown Vancouver is not a creek but rather an inlet leading out to English Bay and eventually the Pacific Ocean. The location is prime real-estate lined with beautiful condos and private docks full of boats.
While walking along the banks of False Creek I came across a boat that had run aground and partially capsized on some rocks. It was an interesting sight to see with the mast sticking far out of the water and half the hull still visible. I thought it’d make an interesting subject to photograph against the scenic backdrop so I decided to return at sunset for some better lighting. Upon returning much to my dismay the tide had risen quite a bit and the hull was full submerged. Alas, visibly grounded boat at sunset wasn’t meant to be so mostly sunken boat at sunset would have to do :)
If you look larger, you may see the male loon's beak is full of lake bottom detritus which he is throwing about in the very first stages of nest-building. Maybe this is just practice because there is simply not enough land here to support a nest. He since decided on a more appropriate and secluded spot. Oh, and I know it's the "he" because the male loon always selects the site for the nest..

You know you are a highly evolved species, when you can fool the natural world who is trying to sneak up behind you.

⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Funny how a picture can lie. Looks like I've taken this picture from some remote area, when in fact I'm in the middle of a very populated part of Washington State. Just happen to be from this spot, and the right amount of zoom on my lens, no buildings or signs of people are visible.
This is Mount Rainier, and was taken when traffic on WA-167 in Pacific, Washington stopped (it's does that a lot). Looking at my map I'd say the distance is about 40 miles "as the crow flys". (If a crow ever flew in a straight line, what a strange saying when you think about it.) Went from Pacific to Bellingham WA and now on my way to Denver. Hopefully I'll have a few photo ops on the way.
I believe that this is a False Potato Beetle. I was out doing macro photography yesterday and when I came home this beauty was on my front door. It was like it was waiting for me. I moved it to my garden and got some photos before it disappeared. Photographed in Maryland..
The false deathcap (Amanita citrina) is distinguished from the true deathcap by its bulbous base and smell of raw potatoes. It is an edible species, though not nearly tasty enough to warrant the worry of mistaking it for its notorious cousin. Be very, very sure of your identification skills if you plan to eat it!
