This Photo has been going viral on social media lately, I see it popping up everywhere, so I thought i would give its back story.
I took this photo While snowboarding on Grouse Mountain nearly 10 years ago. It was an overcast and very snowy late afternoon, the conditions (for snowboarding) were really good, then the clouds opened up at twilight to reveal Vancouver city in all its glory. It was not yet dark, this is why the clouds are glowing blue from the top and they have the warm city glow from underneath. The trees were full of snow and lit up by the ski resort. It was a lucky moment, right place right time! I have been to Grouse Mountain many times since and I have some great shots from up there but not with the same impact.
Thank you for Sharing and liking this image!

I managed to capture this 4 shot panorama as the light was beginning to hit the tree tops and mountain slopes. This image was captured looking south from the end of Henry Rd, Strathcona Park, Vancouver Island.
When it will grow up and will have big wings,
she/he may fly away, but
this pond will be always her/his home ...
Yesterday I had the most amazing pelagic I think of my life and we didn't even find a fishing boat. This has now topped the two pelagics where I've seen 3 Short-tailed albatross and 15 Laysan. We first saw a Manx Shearwater that Tom Plath spotted by Cleland Island and then Liron Gertsman spotted a Slaty-backed Gull in the same flock. As we headed out to pelagic waters Mike Toochin, myself and Ilya Povalyaev spotted a Guadalupe Murrelet! It was less than ten feet from the boat! It's insane to have that bird not way further out it's only BC's 3rd record! Liron and Ilya got some great photos of it. To see it check out the BC RBA here bcbirdalert.blogspot.com/2019/08/rba-guadalupe-murrelet-a...
Next I, Mike Toochin and Mark Wynja spotted 2 Scripps's Murrelets and several miles later Liron Gerstman spotted 2 more Scripps's Murrelets. It was a pretty magical day I got 3 lifers and 3 BC birds and we had 4 provincial rarities!. I am still reeling and happy I could share it with such great people. Thanks to ocean outfitters and Captain Ron for such a special day!

Stocking Creek falls, flowing at full strength with all the rain we have had recently. This is a beautiful spot in Chemainus, Vancouver Island, BC.
Foggy fall goodness at Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: A photo from one of my favourite places in fall attire that can't be missed from my photostream! I enjoyed a visit to Burnaby Mountain Park today as I had hoped the tree lined path with benches would be in full fall colours. To my surprise those trees were still pretty green with some orange hues. I think another week or maybe even 2 before they will be in full fall foliage.
Thankfully there were other trees in the park that have fully changed colour and looked so pretty. It was a bit foggy up there which added to the wonderful fall mood. The grass had fallen leaves on it which looked so pretty. I thought this angle was nice with some distant colourful trees as well.

Some information on Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Burnaby Mountain is one of the beautiful places to visit in Burnaby and is located near the Simon Fraser University. The views over the mountains, the Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and Indian arm from up here make it such a great place. This is a fairly popular destination for visitors and locals alike. The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. There is a network of trails which offer a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options. There is a picnic area and a small playground near the parking lot and there is also a playground tucked away in the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours in season and a great variety of roses. There used to be the Horizons restaurant as well which has been closed and "Mintara atop Burnaby Mountain" is now the new restaurant up there. Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
Burnaby Mountain is a great place to enjoy in any season as there are always the beautiful views over the city, the mountains, the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm (a coastal fjord of about 18km/11.25mi long).
Saturday night's Aurora Borealis and Waning Gibbous Moon share the late night sky. Colours explode over the foggy waters of Watch Lake in the heart of the South Cariboo Region. It was a chilly -1° Celsius (30°F) as I stood in awe and out of focus. ~ Captured 20 miles east of 70 Mile House, BC ~ October 3, 2015
Most commonly known as the “friendship flower,” the yellow rose holds significance for a long-lasting friendship. While yellow roses are a perfect gift to symbolize your strong platonic connection, it is not suggested to give them to someone you are romantically interested in.
This was early morning yesterday, I was up before the dawn. Fog rolled down the Burrard Inlet and swallowed Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge. This was the moment the first rays of sunrise caught the fog and lit the highrises downtown. Captured from West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ October 27, 2017 ☁
This morning's Aurora Borealis over Paradise Valley and Mount Garibaldi. Low lying fog illuminates from the lights of Brackendale and Squamish as the Northern Lights reflect off the shivery waters of the Howe Sound. Captured in Squamish, BC ~ November 4, 2015

The Aug long weekend is now over and it is time to get back to work for everyone in one way or another.
A great time was had with friends, lots of laughs and memories shared with warm 'kinda' sunny days.
