I took this picture of the top of a sharps container while waiting to see the doctor. I liked the various lines of the container as well as the other items around it.

There was no shortage of tulip varieties to behold at the world famous Butchart Gardens in Victoria BC. This one reminds me a bit of a venus fly trap.

Vindi is short for Vindicatrix, or more precisely, the TS Vindicatrix and its Associations. The members of the Association are mostly British ex merchant seaman who, between September 1939 and December 1966, undertook training at the National Sea Training School in Sharpness, Gloucestershire on the TS Vindicatrix. It is widely believed that there were approximately 70,000 boys aged 15 and 16 who passed through this training school. Those who survived World War II and those who came after have now formed a number of Associations around the world, the purpose of which is to rekindle memories and re-establish friendships forged by those who attended the TS Vindicatrix and who are affectionately known world-wide as the "Vindi Boys".

This was a 'stealth life bird'. I didn't actually sit down to ID it until I got home, & I didn't know it was a lifer until I looked at my lifelist on eBird.

There were 20 of them today, and much better weather than last week. This one's showing quite a bit of rufous tingeing, and was pretty stocky. there were others that were largely grey and quite skinny. I think the grey's are the juveniles and the rufous ones are the adults, but I'll have to check that.
