False Creek
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city.
Once the False Creek area was the industrial heartland of Vancouver. It was home to many sawmills and small port operations, as well as the western terminus of the major Canadian railways.
Displayed on this pic you see the building of Science World, built on behalf of World Expo 86. Nowadays it's a science museum.
Three years ago I took exactly the same pic on exactly the same day.. Nothing 's changed... :-)

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..
Schlumbergera truncata - from my little garden.

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!
The bright colors most likely serve as a warning mechanism. While not toxic, these guys can give off a yucky, sticky white mucus which is irritating to mucous membranes and may serve to ward off predators.
Tomato frogs use an "ambush" strategy to hunt for food, sitting in a particular spot and eating whatever insect walks past.
I have never seen the lake freeze completely over in one night, but record cold temps of -4F/-20C last night did the job. There was no ice at all when I went to bed. I don't expect it to last, however, as a bright sun even now looks to be working on it and the forecast actually calls for a few days in the 40sF/4-5C ahead...as mentioned previously, a range we have yet to see at all this year.
