Drive by poles - they're scattered all through out Fernwood & Quadra communities ❤
The first neighbourhood my family lived in was Fernwood. We lived in a house on Empress St in the early 80s. It was shared with 3 other war refugee families.

Backyard fruit trees update.

We've harvested from all of our apple, yellow plum & Asian pear trees 3 times already. More fruits are ripening for more harvests. Our peach tree has been harvested 3 times already. We have about 3-4 harvests for that tree.

We went to try & buy clams this morning but they were sold out. Not restocked til around 4pm today. I wanted to buy 3 lbs for personal shellfish eats with Mom & my youngest brother. I'll go back this evening or tomorrow morning before my doctor's appointment to get the clams.

I love the art mural in their parking lot!

A walk along Dallas Road with a friend. The wind was cold but exciting. The ocean roars. Beautiful .

Sometimes it's easier to view wildlife in the city. The urbanized animals are less wary, accustomed to the coming and going of humans. These were resting on the wharf. The one facing the camera was wide of face. River Ape, I thought. They are clever and powerful predators. They like to poop in the same place. Like a cat. Stinky.

The mornings have been frosty the past several days. When the skies are clear the cold returns. Light. Ice.

Cold snaps. Sky blues. I took D out for a brief wander around a nearby wetlands. Birds were out enjoying the sunshine. is a common forest around these parts. They were in mode to stay warm. They have such sweet eyes...

Archipelagos of moss growing on the ocean spray bush. Tiny worlds populated by roaring water bears and leaping springtails. I lumber past them, so much bigger than their entire world, I don't even exist.

Because these moments are for the birds... How grateful I am to be among them. My heart filled to bursting.
