Somebody thought my previous version of this photo reminded them of Magritte's 'False mirror', so I stole some clouds from another photo of mine and made an official homage :)

Another view across False Creek from Creekside Park, focusing on The Plaza of Nations, BC Place Stadium, and Rogers Arena, with the Downtown skyline standing behind.

The false heather underwing is a member of the Erebidae family and can be found along the eastern shores of the United States. Also known as a graphic moth, the false heather has a wingspan of 30-35 mm and is covered in beautiful brown and white patterns. The moth has an extended flight period lasting from May to August. After their flight is over, the adults mate, lay their eggs, and perish. Larvae emerge from the eggs in early-fall and feed on the evergreen, flowering plant species, Hudsonia, the false heather.
Moths are able to travel vast distances in order to find new habitat, but with growing human development, appropriate habitats are harder to find. Increasing insecticide use to rid cities of nuisance bugs such as mosquitos is also affecting other species of insects, like the underwing moth. We can encourage our cities to reduce the use of insecticides by eliminating standing pools of water which attract nuisance insects, and using insect friendly methods to keep away mosquitos rather than filling the air with harmful insecticide. In general, there has been a significant decline in the moth population in North America in the past 25 years, this is currently being researched. There is a direct correlation between the rise of light pollution and the decline of moths feeding, procreation and longevity. The International Dark Sky Association is educating the public about the concerns of light pollution, there are currently fourteen dark cities in the United States though none in New England. Supporting this advancement in the North East would help all moth species to repopulate.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

Thanks for the comments and "faves" :)
On the left you can see Granville Island and the marina on the south shore of False Creek; on the right are the condos lining Pacific Avenue.
This panorama was stitched from five images using Hugin, then cleaned up in Aperture.
To make the movie I imported the original panorama into iMovie HD, animated it using Ken Burns effects, and then exported it as an H.264 QuickTime video. I used that video as the basis for the soundtrack, composed with Abaltat Muse and converted to AAC in iTunes. I then imported the video into iMovie 08 to add the titles (and music), and exported it again as an H.264 QuickTime video for uploading to Flickr.

Basking between a Red-eared Slider (L) and a Yellow-bellied Slider (R), this is only the second False Map Turtle ever documented in Alachua County, though there's evidently a small population in the Santa Fe River. Native to the Mississippi River drainage, this individual undoubtedly escaped from captivity or was released. It was found by Rex Rowan and Bob Carroll, who were scouting their Christmas Bird Count territory on 15 December 2016, in an apartment complex pond near SW 34th Street and Archer Road. Jonathan Mays of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed the identity as False Map Turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica), probably the southern race of that species, Mississippi Map Turtle (G. p. kohnii), native to the southern Mississippi River basin from Missouri south to Louisiana.
Pregnant female false black widow spider (Steotoda nobilis). She has been living in the corner of a window in a sun porch in our garden in East Sussex. A few days later an egg-sac appeared. I would normally spring clean the sun porch but maybe not this year!
The two species of Geometer Moth common to our area, Xanthotype urticaria or sospeta, can't be distinguished from photos. Based on the shape of antena, I think it is female.
One of the best hikes I've ever done. You read about time travel...but to actually step back in time to a place that hasn't been touch by machinery, war or politics is a rare event. Sitting here as the sun dropped below the horizon, you can't help but think about the native Americans that sat here millenia ago...wondering if you're seeing the same display of colors that they saw. This place really does exist. It's tough to find, but the hike is only about a mile long. Some scrambling is required. But, a word to the wise. If you make this hike, either leave before the sun sets or bring a GPS with waypoints. Finding yourself lost in the dark at this place is more than primordial. Trust me on this one! I had the pleasure of meeting, hiking, shooting and searching for cairns in the dark with professional photographers Brett J. Donnelly & Blake Lynch. Check out Brett's site at www.brettdonnelly.com/

From Cecilia Forest, above Constantia, looking out over Wynberg and the Cape Flats, to Cape Hangklip on te other side of False Bay.
False Oxlip, a hybrid between Primrose and Cowslip. Growing amidst a plethora of cowslips on old lime kiln workings adjacent to the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale in the Derbyshire Peak District.
From the False Creek waterfront near the Olympic Village, you certainly get one of the most amazing view on downtown Vancouver. From the imposing geodesic dome of Telus World of Science to the suspended roof of BC Place there's a lot to take in. Don't miss the vast windows of Edgewater Casino in front of BC Place and Rogers Arena just behind. There's a wall of skyscrapers all around and of course this lovely bay. Wow!
It's an amazing view, but there's so many ways to view the city and the waterfront. There's a walkway on the seawall all around False Creek, downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park. As a Montrealer this really blows my mind, and I wish we had a walkway along the waterfront that was anywhere close as amazing.
I couldn't have guessed that the Telus World of Science building was built in the mid-1980s for Expo 86. It's so modern and very well maintained. BC Place is also from that period, having been completed in 1983. At the young age of 25 it was the main stadium for the 2010 Olympics.
This picture doesn't do justice to the size of the False Creek, but it'is a panorama covering almost 180 degrees, made up of 7 shots.
