We are lucky enough in Vancouver that we are very close to nature. Apart from the occasional feeding squirrels and rabbits at Minoru Park, following a family of racoons or skunks in the West End, we also have American eagles around where we live. Continue reading
Got some photos of migrating bird sighting to share with you. These were taken back in October. Moving put taking photos on a backseat and now I am catching up to post photos I took last month.
It’s been a while since I last blogged. I was very busy with moving and that put my blogging schedule behind. Now that we are moved, hopefully I will get back to my regular schedule with my blog. I will tell you more about our move later.
First, here are some photos I didn’t manage to post before we moved. We checked out the Richmond Country Farms pumpkin patch. It was our first time and we didn’t know what exactly to expect. So if you ever wonder what the pumpkin patch looks like in Richmond Country Farms, read on!
We had some pretty nice weather this Autumn and for some reason, I feel that our leaves are extra red this year. It must be my eyes playing tricks on me.
This time we went to Granville Island in Vancouver for a little bit of relaxing walk-around. Continue reading
Vancouver is now fully into Autumn. We have a lot of trees turning red and it is a beautiful scenery in most streets.
Temperature has dropped to Winter level over the weekend and it was mainly clear. With only 8 degrees during day time, we had to turn up the heat at home finally. It was around 22 degrees the week before and I guess Winter is arriving fast.
Some of us have regular day jobs, and like many of you, I commute to and from work using public transit. I used to drive every day but found that is not a very good use of my time. Driving needs constant concentration on the road, that means I cannot listen to podcast, I cannot check email, I cannot follow tweets, I cannot read books. So I abandoned driving to and from work since 2003. Although commuting takes time too, during rush hours, driving is not that much faster as long as your routine is the same.
I remember about the same time last year we came to Whytecliff Park for a bit of leisure walk. I always like to pick a crisp day in Autumn to come here for some reason. This year is no exception.
We came at around 5:30 PM and it was just about the right time to wait for sunset.
Got some autumn flower photos to share with you. These are flowers I found in the past few weeks during our walk around in different parts of Vancouver. Instead of writing about flowers, I am including the camera settings here for your reference. These photos were taken using the Canon EF 70-200mm F4L and the Canon EF-S 60mm Macro lenses.
