Claira Found Caterpillar
Claira found a caterpillar walking across the trail. She didn't want to pick it up in her hand, but she was okay with using a stick.
Species: Pyrrharctia isabella (banded woollybear)

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.

Paddle-tailed Darner
This dragonfly didn't stop very much, but it did the same route around the pond a lot.
Species: Aeshna palmata (Paddle-tailed Darner)

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.

Claira In The Pond
The water is normally high enough to cover this lip of cement.
People: Claira

Wild Carrot Arching Into Birds Nest
At first I thought this was the flower before it blooms - turns out this is after it blooms.
Species: Daucus carota (wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace, bird's 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.

Nara Lying In The Sea Blush
Nara Lying In The Sea Blush. This turns out to be the first ever "icon triple" - has a location, species and person identified.
People: Nara
Species: Plectritis congesta (seablush)

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
This frog didn't do much - he did swim away when I tried to get closer.
Species: Rana catesbeiana (American Bullfrog)

Blue Dasher On Rolled Up Pond Lilly
Most dragonflies are territorial - these ones seemed to really enjoy fighting
Species: Pachydiplax longipennis (Blue Dasher)
