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.

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...

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.
