Just like we each have our own voice, each male Lazuli Bunting sings a unique combination of notes. Yearling males generally arrive on the breeding grounds without a song of their own.

This time last year, rain in the streets of Vancouver's Historic Gastown. The street lights on Water Street reflect off the wet cobblestone as pedestrians scramble to get out of the rain. In the winter months, a view through the leafless trees at Vancouver Lookout on top of Harbour Centre. Throwback Thursday. Captured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ March 11, 2015 ☔️
