Something of a cliche shot maybe and a bit different for me... I bought a Sigma 10-20 which arrived Wednesday, tonight was its first outing to give it a test run on the obligatory sunset shot!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)
Watchet, harbour, Somerset, UK.
Watchet developed as a town thanks to its closeness to the minerals within the Brendon Hills, and its access to the River Severn for onward shipping. Aside from local ships plying trade across the river, from 1564 onwards the port was used for import of salt and wine from France.
In 1643 during the English Civil War, a Royalist ship was sent to Watchet to reinforce for the siege of Dunster Castle. Parliamentarian Captain Popham ordered his troops into the sea with the tide on the ebb, and with the ship unable to move, attacked the ship with fire from their carbines. Taken by surprise and under heavy attack, the Royalist commander surrendered the ship, resulting in a ship technically at sea being captured by troops on horseback.
After letting P001 get out of the way, local M721 pulls out of Wauhatchie Yard. Since I figured Wauhatchie was full & there was no where for them to run around, the dispatcher decided to have them pull up past Lookout & have them run around their train between Alton Park & Lookout so that they could head back north. 3-2-21
Kanaka Creek Regional Park is a regional park of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, located in the city of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, flanking both sides of Kanaka Creek from its confluence with the Fraser River just east of Haney and extending approximately 11 km (7 mi) up the creek to just south of the community of Webster's Corners. The Maple Ridge Fairgrounds are just east of the lower regions of the park, beyond them is the community of Albion. Derby Reach Regional Park is just across the Fraser in Langley.
A variety of plants and animals can be located in all 3 areas of the park and it is a popular spot for both Black Bear and Salmon populations. Kanaka Creek Regional Park has a rich history- the first purchase of land for the park by the City of Maple Ridge occurred in the late 1970s, and the land is the traditional unceded territory of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Matsqui, Musqueam, Semiahmoo, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Recently, misuse of the land has negatively changed parts of the park. To fix this issue, Metro Vancouver Regional Parks implemented a 20 year management plan in 2004 with the assistance of the Katzie First Nation among other groups, and the University of Victoria (UVIC) completed a restoration project in areas of the park in 2022.
Recreation
Kanaka Creek is widely recognized for its natural beauty, as well as recreational appeal. According to a local newspaper, the Daily Hive, Kanaka is the 8th most popular park in metro Vancouver, with 610,500 visitors in 2022. The park features walking, hiking, and biking trails publicly available to anyone who wants to use them. Along these walks there is plenty of flora and fauna to view. The park also has a lake in which visitors can fish, or canoe. The park is wheelchair accessible, and equipped with parking and public washrooms.
The 400 ha. park has three main areas. The Riverfront area adjacent to the Fraser and BC Hwy 7 has picnic tables and a boat-launch, suitable for launching canoes and kayaks for navigating the slow-moving waters of Kanaka Creek up as far as the 240th Street bridge. The Riverfront Trail winds along this stretch of the creek and has a number of three-story wooden viewing towers. Above 240th Street the stream is shallower and full of snags and not suitable for boating. Above that a popular swimming hole with slickrock slides is at Cliff Falls. There are twin falls on Kanaka Creek, one on each of its upper fork. Much of the upper area of the park is heavily forested, though hiking along the creek beds is feasible and a number of wooden walkways through the forest and along the creek have been established in the area.

Construite un peu à l'égard du sentier menant de Hauteville à Ahuy, cette cabane en pierre sèche, appelée cadole (ou aussi cabiote en patois bourguignon), est l'une des premières à avoir été restaurée par l'association locale Cadoles et Meurgers. Ce genre d'édifice ser-vait jadis aux bergers et agriculteurs pour s'abriter des intempéries ou entreposer leurs outils et victuailles.

I wonder which is better, the monochrome or colored. This is the original image taken. It seemed that the attractive colors and accessories of the donkey are more eye catching than the owner of the donkey.

On this particular day it had been a rather fruitless wildflower hunt early in the season along Caliente-Bodfish rd. And then I came upon what seems like a pair of proud parents, showing off their youngster roadside and made the day!
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
