Vancouver Island is well known for its coastal rainforest of intense green color and density. This picture was taken at Pedder Bay Marina, the duck was just swimming among the various boats when it caught my eye. I used one of the boat as a blind to be able to approach closer to the duck. The intense color of the water is a reflection of the forested surrounding of the marina.

There is scarcely any writer who has not celebrated the happiness of rural privacy, and delighted himself and his reader with the melody of birds, the whisper of groves, and the murmur of rivulets. ~Samuel Johnson

From those mountains far away,

He calls the tune,

And I must go,

No longer, can I stay "

There she goes

There she goes again

Racing through my brain

And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains

There she goes

There she goes again

Pulsing through my veins

And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains

There she goes

There she goes again

Racing through my brain

And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains...

London Tube going away for a few days be back soon

Uitmonding Noordzeekanaal in de Noordzee

De Noordpier van Wijk aan Zee/Velsen Noord is net als de Zuidpier van IJmuiden gemaakt om verzanding van de haven te voorkomen en om zeeschepen een veilige doorvaart naar de sluizen van het Noordzeekanaal te bieden.

Thick mist on the lake. It was a magical morning.

Our heavy snow pack this winter was too much for this old barn.

Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)

This is a breeding adult doing it's best to chase me away. They come in fast and right at you. When they fly up just inches from your head, they poop on you. I held my camera up and just held the shutter trigger down hoping I got something. I did this several times and this is the best one. I did have to clean off the camera. Nickerson Beach Park, Long Island NY.

For those that aren't familiar with London this is the Greenwich foot tunnel. It runs under the Thames and connects Greenwich with the Isle of Dogs, leading onto Canary Wharf a mile or two beyond. At both ends of the foot tunnel is a lift plus a set of stairs. I used to know the exact number of steps to get to street level because when I was still working my folding bicycle and I used to go through this foot tunnel twice a day and more often than not one or both of the lifts would be out of service. Not sure how reliable they are these days but what I can say is when I used it on my recent visit it was working just fine. So this is me up against the wall of the lift shooting back through the glass doors towards the tunnel just as the doors have closed.
