Slowly Swirling Water
There are three image planes in this image - you can see the bottom of the creek, you can see the surface of the creek and you can see the trees reflected on the surface of the creek. Cool. I was trying to highlight the swirling on the duck weed, but I failed. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2024 to 2005 > October 2013 > Slowly Swirling Water

Ivy Leaved Cyclamen
This is an interesting plant. It's an invasive here - it likes to live in the same space as Garry Oak trees which are most threatened (and smallest) ecosystem in BC. This plant is a large tuber that flowers in the fall - you can buy it at Gardenworks. The small varigrated leaf on the ground in front of the left most flower is a plant leaf (the flowers come up first). The leaf in the background is a from a Rhododendron. Species: Cyclamen hederifolium

Wild Carrot Arching Into Birds Nest

Wild Carrot Undershot
Yes, it is cliché, but sometimes a cliché is better than no shot at all. I wound up lying on a bunch of blackberry so getting up wasn't too comfortable. Species: Daucus carota (wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace, bird's nest)

Sea Blush
There was a large patch of this native plant. It made me smile. I wish I used more DOF and a tripod. Species: Plectritis congesta (seablush)

Pond With Iris And Willow
I'm not that good at taking "park" shots - wide angles that capture a whole scene. I like how this one came together. Species: Iris pseudacorus (paleyellow iris, yellow flag)

Cherry Blossom Reflecting In Pond
This cherry blossom was really late - all the other cherry blossoms in the neighbourhood were past done. Unfortunately the pond is quite stagnant so the reflection is marred by floating debris. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2024 to 2005 > May 2013 > Cherry Blossom Reflecting In Pond

Western Painted Turtle Near Rock Wall
I really struggled with the question of if this is an aquarium escapee or a wild turtle. This pond is part of the watershed that leads to Blenkinsop Lake and then to Swan Lake - both have Western Painted Turtles. It's possible that this individual came up from those lakes following a stream. Maybe. Species: Chrysemys picta bellii (Western painted turtle)

Dragonfly With Nymph Skin
This isn't the dragonfly that just crawled out of the pond - the dragonflies liked this perch and regularly pushed each other off of it. I'm not even sure that is the skin of a dasher - there are other species of dragonflies in this pond. Species: Pachydiplax longipennis (Blue Dasher)

Bullfrog Floating In Pond
