Blue False Indigo (Baptisia australis) is a wild flower that has been cultivated as a source of a blue-colored dye that is reminiscent of indigo dye.
It looks like a hardy version of sweet pea. This dense bush-like mass was about 3 feet (approx. 1 meter) in height and width, growing in a city alleyway. (The prettiest thing in the alley ).
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 :)

False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. George Richards named False Creek during his survey of the coast in the mid-19th century. While traveling along the south side of the Burrard Inlet, he thought he was traversing a creek; upon discovering his error, he gave the waterway its modern name. Wikipedia
The Burrard Bridge (also referred to as the Burrard Street Bridge) is a five-lane, Art Deco style, steel truss bridge constructed in 1930-1932 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The high, five part bridge on four piers spans False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver with Kitsilano via connections to Burrard Street on both ends. It is one of three bridges crossing False Creek.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.
Stay Healthy
Happy New Year

Not really sure if this is the silver studded blue (plebejus argus) or a false one (plebejus idas).....anyway its the first time for me to see this species. Photographed in Germany and I can tell you my heart skipped a beat :-)
I didn't know what these tiny flowers were so I looked them up and found out that they are called False Garlic. Those 4 blooms could almost be covered with a quarter and each bloom is dime sized or smaller!
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!

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.

Fine Amanita specimen just popped up in the grass. I think this is the White variant of False Deathcap (Amanita citrina var. alba). Brown's Folly Nature Reserve, Avon Wildlife Trust, Bathford near Bath, England.
