Jul 4, 2024 GOLD RIVER THE ELUSIVE GOLD RIVER SALMON. Gold River, Vancouver Island, BC. This one spotted at the Tourist Information Centre. The lineage is in question, but allegedly a Grizzly bear mated with a Sockeye Salmon? Or a GMO experiment "gone bad," with a fish possessing mammalian features. Similar things have happened to GMO tomatoes! Have fun!!

Mar 15, 2024 SASQUATCH PROVINCIAL PARK SPIRIT TRAIL MASKS IN SASQUATCH. In Sasquatch, BC; March 12, 2024. The trails have Spirit masks on the tree trunks. A little spooky, like things are 'watching you.' Supposed to be "spiritual." You decide for yourself. Nevertheless, a nice hike, on a well groomed trail. As noted, lots of bears and cougars. This is also in the Sasquatch Capital of the World. As I note, you will see plenty of Sasquatches here, as well. Enjoy!

Apr 4, 2024 PITT LAKE MORE BEAR CAVES AT PITT LAKE, BC. Hard to see this cave, unobtrusive, hidden behind moss and ferns. Unlike the one I showed you in Golden Ears Park, made in a hollow stump; this bear cave is made of solid granite, in a mountainside. Mother sow and 3 cubbies inside, as of April 03, 2024. By next month, they should be out in the blueberry and cranberry fields. The skunk cabbage are blooming, and the fresh green grass is growing. They love that!

Apr 25, 2024 GOLDEN EARS PARK DEVIL'S CLUB SPRING FLOWER BUDS. April 25, 2024. Golden Ears Park. These Drvil's Club Flower Buds will soon be white flowers. These flower buds, the flowers, the red berries, and the roots, are the only parts of this plant that do not have the dangerous spines.

May 11, 2024 MAPLE RIDGE AURORA BOREALIS IN MAPLE RIDGE. MAY 10, 2024. MAPLE RIDGE, BC. 24 hours forecast of a major coronal outburst, best one in over 20 years, comes true. Best I have seen anywhere, in "little old Maple Ridge." This Coronal Mass Ejection produced spectacular results, this time. The previous night was supposed to be G3, so I went out, but it was a dud. I had almost given up this Friday night, checking it every half hour, with minimal activity. Then my daughter, who was 20 miles away, watching, called me at 10:54 pm, saying: "Go outside right now." I was able to grab the first major geomagnetic stream as it came over top of me. You can see this in the picture with the roof, clear sky on the left side, and a major aurora stream shooting down in the middle. I can't believe I caught the first beam of the Aurora Borealis, at least in Maple Ridge. The Aurora was so bright, it filled the whole sky, and light pollution had no effect on diminishing it. In fact, lights from mountain subdivisions themselves were overshadowed by the luminescence of the Aurora. Best that I have ever seen, both naked eye and on camera, even comparing to the Internet. FYI, I used the Samsung S23s, with the "Night Mode" setting on. Without this setting, the pictures were dark, but could be resuscitated by adjusting the exposure, lighting, and contrast in the Editor.

P-51 kite

Well I hope you rescued it?

Spent the morning in the tire repair shop!!

Taking my broom next time!!

Wtf?

Kind of spooky but cool.

Interesting. Learned something new.

So, where are the squatch

Very pretty.

Wow

Yes, at this level the moss looks like giant trees!

No, not a lichen. Lichens are the Fifth Kingdom.

Nice

Good One!

Notice the next day the building is whitr too, not pink!!

I was there again tonight, but it just looked normal. That is the first picture I show you.

Festive

At 4:40 pm train, could park close, and walk right on train. But by 5:30, huge line ups to park and get on.

I witnessed salmon spawning right at this dam. So, please do not destroy it anymore.

ScarButt has appeared in several of my videos over the past four years. He is 4 years old, was "shot?" In the right buttock at age two, and now has a big scar in the area. Soon I will put together a whole documentary on "ScarButt."

Please save the beavers.

It even looks like someone drew a black ring around the sun. But, not true. Actual photograph!!

When I look at this photo I took with my cellphone, it looks like it has been digitally altered. I agree, but having seen the smoke and actual sun, having taken the photo myself, unassisted, I can swear that these are the original, unaltered photos. Amazing!!?

Still happening!!

Still happening!!

Hurricane Hilary to the rescue!!!

Never thought that I would thank a hurricane for helping us, but apparently it is!!

August 22, 2023: Some relief may be on the way!!

Hard to breath!!

Wow this look surreal!

Yes, they pinch (bite?) Sting?

Sunset..?
