Photograph taken at an altitude of Eighteen metres at 11:38pm on Tuesday 30th May 2023 off the West Coast Road 14, on the shoreline of French Beach Provincial Park.

  

Here we see a Red-breasted Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber), one of four sapsucker species, woodpeckers that regularly drill holes through bark to feed on tree sap. Sapsuckers maintain and defend extensive systems of sap wells, which other species such as the Rufous Hummingbird feed from.

  

French Beach lies within the traditional territory of the T’Sou-ke First Nations people. Their name comes from the Sook tribe of Straits Salishans, from the SENĆOŦEN language word T'Sou-ke, the name of the species of Stickleback fish that live in the estuary of the river .

 

Their economy was based on hunting, fishing, and gathering, and extended families among the Straits people owned the lands and resources, which could not be sold, only inherited.

Situated on the scenic Strait of Juan de Fuca on the west coast of southern Vancouver Island, French Beach Park is a 55 Hectares site and can be accessed via Highway 14, 20km west of Sooke. It took it's name from pioneer James French who took two years to travel from New Brunswick to Victoria. His home and favourite beach would become French Beach Park in 1974.

The Canon EOS R5 is Canon's most advanced, complete camera in a long, long time. It has a few flaws (most notably a tendency to overheat when shooting the most demanding video codecs), but it has a very long list of virtues, including high resolution (45Mpx), great high ISO performance and dynamic range, fast burst rates (12 FPS mechanical and 20 FPS Electronic), deep buffers, great IBIS (sensor stabilization), and a truly awesome focus system. Add an amazing amount of video options and great ergonomics, and this is a camera that I simply love using. Bottom line: I bought one. Here's my review coverage:

This photograph was taken at an altitude of Fifty seven metres at 14:32pm on a cold and wintry afternoon, on December 13th 2022, and a temperature of -1 degrees, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent. Here we see a Redwing (Turdus iliacus), the smallest of the Thrush family and protected under the Wildlife and countryside Act 1981 with a current status of Red.

  

They rarely visit gardens unless snow is on the ground, and there are only a few nesting pairs in the UK, mainly in Scotland. They migrate to the UK from the Scandinavian coast, Russia, the Faroes and Iceland, and can detect berries using Ultra violet vision. They stay in the UK from October to April.

Several crows were riding the breeze off the shoreline, almost hovering above me, seemingly for fun.

  

The American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is a large passerine bird species of the family Corvidae. It is a common bird found throughout much of North America. American crows measure 16-21 inches in length and are the New World counterpart to the carrion crow and the hooded crow of Eurasia

Viewing a Lithops flower for twenty-four hours, from midnight to midnight.

You may notice the huge crack at the bottom of the flower stem - this probably was the bad result of watering the plant during bud growth.

For more about Lithops, please see my photosets.

Photograph taken at 12:27pm on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Fifty two in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

  

Here we see a European robin (Erithacus rubecula), also known as the Robin, or Robin redbreast, a small insectivorous passerine bird, more specifically a Chat.

Photograph taken at 11:11am on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at an altitude of Fifty one in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. Here we see a juvenile Common moorhen (Gallinula chioropus), also known as the Marsh hen, waterhen, the swamp chicken and the common gallinule, the name Mor-hen being derived from 13th century english Moor meaning marsh.

  

The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eight metres at 07:46am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.

  

Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii. They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.

  

The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches).

  

They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Just today, 11-08-20, copied VOB MiniDV files from DVD to the Passport HD via edits on MovAVI conversion to MP4 files.

The HP Windows Media Player and other player gave up playing VOB files then the three players gave up playing both codecs, so rebooted and new WIN updates and OK...

MovAVI was good at joining stray smaller clips onto the neighbouring larger files and saving as MP4...

The DELL stil plays the VOBand MP4 files with a click or Open with....

Have copied 19 video files to the WD MyCloud to play on the TV or maybe post to YouTube

Then to add links to the still images here.

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres, at 12:39pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off Constitution Hill and Spur Road in front of Buckingham Palace with the Union flag at full mast, in The Mall next to Green Park and St James's Park in Central London.

  

The roads were totally sealed off by the Police as sections of The Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) and The Band of the Household Cavalry members rode and marched from the Palace up the Mall and back.

  

Formed in 1969, with both regiments history dating back to the mid-17th century, this unit is now part of the Household Cavalry. It is the second-most senior regiment in the British Army and operates as both an armoured reconnaissance unit and a ceremonial guard of the Monarch, King Charles III. In 1982, it sent detachments to the Falklands War, where they supported The Parachute Regiment in the Battle of Wireless Ridge.

  

In 1992, the two Household Cavalry units’ ceremonial troops were united into the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), and their operational troops into the Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR). The Blues and Royals contribute two squadrons to the HCR and one squadron to the HCMR. They are based in Windsor and central London respectively.

Since 1992, squadrons of The Blues and Royals have served with the HCR in Bosnia in 1994-95 and Kosovo in 1999. Members of The Blues and Royals also regularly deployed to Iraq (2003-11) and Afghanistan (2001-14).

Photograph taken at 11:24am on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Forty one metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

  

The Mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurasia, and the far north of Africa.

Photograph taken at 14:09pm on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Sixty metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

  

The Eurasian chaffinch, common chaffinch, or simply the chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), is a common and widespread small passerine bird in the finch family. The male is brightly coloured with a blue-grey cap and rust-red underparts.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One metres at 20:36pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 around sunset at Patricia Bay , a body of salt water that extends East from the Saanich Inlet and forms part of the North Saanich shoreline in the District of North Saanich in British Columbia. It features a beautiful park which is at the south end of the Scoter Trail. Formerly known as Union Bay, the bay was named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught who was Governor General in 1912.

  

The park has ties to transportation and the waterfront, and their pivotal role in the development of North Saanich. It is also tied to the development of the Victoria International Airport and military aviation efforts during the Second World War. In 1937, the airport was developed as one of six Royal Canadian Air Force Station training facilities on Vancouver Island.

  

The land was originally settled by the Tseycum First Nation (Union Bay Indian Reserve No.4) , one of four Saanich villages of Southern Vancouver Island in the area and part of the Northern Straits Coast Salish language group.

  

In the Sencoten langauge Tseycum is spelled Wsikem and means Land of Clay. The languages spoken include Lkwungen, Malchosen, Semiahmoo, SENĆOŦEN andT’Sou-ke and in 2023 the Chief is Tanya Jimmy, who was elected in July 2019. The Tseycum people have five reserves located at:

  

Bare Island 9, Goldstream 13, Pender Island 8, Saturna Island 7 and Union Bay 4.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty two metres at 10:45am on Monday 8th May off the Sea to sky highway 99 and Shannon falls Road, at Shannon falls in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.

  

Known as Kwékwetxwm, Shannon Falls holds particular significance for the Squamish First Nations people, the area’s first inhabitants. One legend tells that Say-noth-ka, a two-headed sea serpent, created the falls by repeatedly slithering up and down the mountainside. Shannon falls are British Columbia's third tallest waterfalls, dropping an impressive 335 metres(1,105 feet), with wonderful rock climbs to it's South face at 'Local boys do good', 'The gobsmacking wall', and 'Klahanie Crack'.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eight metres at 19:26pm on Wednesday 24th May 2023 off Homathko Drive at Island View Beach on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

  

The Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), takes it's name from the Latin for 'Sea Raven', and the Phalacrocoracidae family consists of forty or more species of aquatic birds known as shags and cormorants. There are three species of Cormorant native to British Columbia, and seen here is a Double Crested Cormorant, the largest of the three variants.

  

Island View beach is a fifty one hectare regional park located on Island View Road and Homathko Road with a beautiful stretch of coastline along the Eastern shore of the Saanich Peninsula and panoramic views of Haro Strait, James Island and Mount Baker over in Whatcom County, Washington State, USA.

  

It is roughly twenty kilometres from downtown Victoria, seventeen kilometers from the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal and twelve kilometres from Victoria airport. The District of Central Saanich is situated on the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ people which includes W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) and SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) First Nations who all signed the Saanich Indian Territorial Declaration.

  

The W̱SÁNEĆ People are Salt Water People who traditionally had homes throughout the San Juan Islands, east and north coasts of the Saanich Peninsula, the Gulf Islands, northeast across Georgia Strait to Boundary Bay, the Saanich Inlet and forest lands, PKOLS (Mount Douglas), W̱QENNELEȽ (Mt. Finlayson) and SELE₭TEȽ (Goldstream and it's provincial park).

Photograph taken at 11:44am on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at an altitude of Fifty three in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. Here we see the summer sunlight through a Sycamore leaf (Acer pseudoplatanus).

 

The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eighty four metres at 11.48am on Wednesday 7th June 2023 off the Capilano Pacific Trail, beneath the Capilano Suspension bridge in West Vancouver, British Columbia.

  

Kia’palano (Beautiful river) was named by the Squamish first nations people, and gives Capilano park it's name. The suspension bridge was originally a cedar wood and rope bridge designed by George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and park commissioner for Vancouver, in 1889. The park was sold and purchased and the bridge completely rebuilt in 1956 and later sold again in 1983 to the present owner, Nancy Stibbard.

  

A treetops adventure was built in 2004 and a cliffwalk added in 2011. The bridge is 140 metres in length and seventy metres from the river bed and receives more than 1.2 million visitors annually.

  

In June 2023 an adult day ticket was not cheap at $67.00 dollars Canadian, but the park makes for a great days enjoyment with food and drinks available.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Six metres at 12:15pm on Saturday 6th May off Circle Drive and Chestnut Row in the grounds of Beacon Hill Park, with 740,000 square metres of parkland, in Victoria on British Columbia, Canada.

  

The Indian peafowl or peacock (Pavo cristatus) is also known as the common peafowl, and blue peafowl, and is a peafowl species native to the Indian subcontinent. It has been introduced to many other countries. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl are referred to as peahens, although both sexes are often referred to colloquially as a "peacock".

 

A Peacocks length from bill to tail can measure100 to 115 cm (39 to 45 in) and to the end of a fully grown train as much as 195 to 225 cm (77 to 89 in) and weigh 4–6 kg (8.8–13.2 lb). The females, or peahens, are smaller at around 95 cm (37 in) in length and weigh 2.75–4 kg (6.1–8.8 lb).
