While hunting for a composition, I came across this rocky area at Marshall Point. It looked like it had potential, so I examined it further from various perspectives. As in Risk Management, one hedges against the future hoping for the best outcome. And since it is always a crap shoot, we do our best to prepare as best we can.
The sunset may or may not arrive. But 80% of successful landscape photography is being there. After that, having a scenic landscape combined with sunset colours, help with the final result. The rest is in the form of technique and can be found on numerous YouTube videos.

There are a large variety of animals who live in the Pitt Wilderness Management Area including geese, ducks, Ospreys, Great Blue Herons, eagles, and other mammals such as beavers, deer, and bears. During the late spring, many geese and ducks can be seen protecting their young goslings from predators. During the evening, beavers can occasionally be spotted swimming along the shore of the dikes.

State forests manage the growth, harvesting and regrowth of timber as a resource. As part of the management of the forests, controlled fires are used to maintain the health of forest ecosystems and to create a seed bed for regeneration or replanting after timber harvesting. Such burns also reduce the risk of our of control bushfires by reducing the amount of fallen timber and undergrowth.
This photograph was taken at the site of one such burn. A large termite nest can be seen in the background.

A section of the vast Forumile Management Area east of Buena Vista, Colorado. The rounded peaks in the far background are Buffalo Peaks and the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness. The rock formation in the center is called Castle Rock. I often spot Bighorn Sheep near and around it. The area is jointly managed by the US Forest Service, BLM, Friends of Fourmile and other groups.

I’ve just come back from shopping at Tesco’s, and I don’t know about you but I found it stressful! Shopping I ask you, stressful, good grief what is the world coming to. I’m at an age now where I’m at a higher risk of this virus being a one to miss, still the percentages of getting through it are very good but I’m taking no risks. A year ago I took this photo on my way down from Hart Crag, the mountain behind the rowan tree, obscured by clag. I had approached the mountain from Deepdale, deciding when I was in the hanging valley below Greenhow End, not to go up the step, a scramble up the crag to the summit plateau, a climb I had good experience of. I had weighed up the risk, it looked like bad weather on top with enough snow on the rocks to give it an edge, my balance is not what it was and I was solo. So I decided on an easier route, to head for the col between Dove Crag and Hart Crag and on to the summit, although I still felt the need to put my crampons on nearing the top. On the top it was a whiteout and I careful noted my route to the summit cairn. I was to follow it again on the way down as I intended to descend by Hartsop above How. The point of this story is that I knew what I was doing from many years in the mountains, understood my diminishing abilities in this terrain and managed my survival accordingly. However this virus is something different, I have no experience of this type of situation, don’t understand what we are dealing with, and relying on the advice of a government/leader (which I’m following to the letter) who I usually passionately disagree with. So outside of my enforced cocoon going shopping was very stressful. But there is always a bright side, during that hour I focused on the task in hand and anxiety for my far away children took a temporary backseat, I was in the same zone a year ago on that mountain.
Back to my Canon EOS 250D with a macro test, especially for reaching the best DOF and sharpness in all fields, well except the background bokeh wich is a beautiful little foldable double panel decorated with Iris flowers that has been gifted to me by a dear Japanese Friend.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada
The Vancouver Grant Narrows Regional Park is a recreation and sightseeing destination located north of the community of Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada. The regional park is best known for its birdwatching and for its boat launch accessing the various waterways.
The Grant Narrows Regional Park is situated on the southern shores of Pitt Lake and on the banks of the Pitt River. However... it is an enclosed park surrounded by dykes and nearby wetland, bog and marsh areas - most notably the Katzie Marsh and the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area.
The boat launch in the park is a very popular destination for accessing Pitt Lake by boat and for launching a canoe or kayak for river and wetland exploration. During the summer months one can rent a canoe or kayak in the Vancouver park.
The Grant Narrows Regional Park and the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area are prime birding destinations. There are said to be over 200+ bird species sighted in the park including swans, sparrows, eagles, loons, ducks, geese, herons and osprey.
In the Grant Narrows Regional Park are hiking trails and dykes which circle the wetland area. One trail is called the Nature Trail and the other is the Pitt Lake Trail. On the trails are some wooden viewing towers for birdwatching.
A longest trail follows the outer perimeter of the park and loops around the Katze Marsh. The trail measures about 6.5 kilometres.

WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans and I headed over to Waste Management Sun Valley to check out their fleet. Sun Valley recently received 2 new LNG Peterbilt Amreps that will most likely end up in Palmdale once Sun Valley receives their new CNG fleet. There were also thousands of new black dumpsters all over the Sun Valley yard that extended to where the Bradley Landfill once was active. The Sun Valley staff was great and even started up the Road Commander for us. Thank you WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans for a great day and special thanks to the friendly Waste Management staff at Sun Valley.
