A welcome visitor 3 A cute little Dragonfly dropped by our pond today. They’re probably my favourite insect. Really cool. :) It wouldn’t let me get close so I used my telephoto lens. It is a Cardinal Meadowhawk (Sympetrum illotum). Taken late May, on Denman Island, BC, Canada. Via TheKoopaBros (me)

Itsy bitsy spider… Came down the daisy petal? Just for size comparison the spider is less than the width of a push pin. I love this macro lens. I’d have gotten a better focus if I had a tripod set up. Cropped a bit. Taken July 22nd, 2009 on Denman Island, BC, Canada. Via TheKoopaBros (me)

flower puffs in the breeze I believe that they’re flowers from a chive in our garden. I really like this shot. Taken on Denman Island, BC, Canada on May 15th, 2010. Via TheKoopaBros (me)

A fungi surprise 6 A pleasant surprise of some very cute mushrooms I found growing on a log. These were very tiny, especially when compared with the moss tufts surrounding them. Taken on March 29th, 2010 on Denman Island, BC, Canada. Via TheKoopaBros (me)

Pristine waters 1 This was one of the clearest days of the ocean. Such a beautiful reflection! Taken on Denman Island, BC, Canada on May 4th, 2010. This was literally taken from our home, just from our lawn. I just love having an ocean view. Via TheKoopaBros (me)

The MV Quinitsa crossing from Denman Island to Buckley Bay Denman Island is visible behind the ship. Taken April 26th, 2009 from Buckley Bay, BC, Canada. The only way on and off the island (practically) is this small little BC Ferry. Crossing is 10-15 minutes. Via TheKoopaBros (me)

Petrified wood 1 I found this piece of petrified wood on Denman Island when I was very young. Its still one of my favourite fossils. :) Still my favourite fossil/rock I own. I asked a palaeontologist about it and he noticed a tunnel through the wood (as seen here) as well as confirming it was petrified wood. Via TheKoopaBros (me)
