The China Creek North pollinator Meadow is popping off right now! Thanks to all the hard work and help from volunteers, it's become a space really beloved of the community. If you're ever in the northeast corner of Mount Pleasant here in Vancouver, make sure you come by and visit 🌱
Just a little Rhamphorhyncus enjoy a fishy snack for fun.
Happiest of birthdays🥳 my true love @robinbougie.bsky.social He is my best friend, he makes me laugh constantly, he is a supportive team player and the best human I've ever met ( our nicknames for each other is Frog and Bear) 🐸🐻
Took out the microscope to look at some small purple Nepeta or Catmint flowers and buds. You can see the glistening pockets of fragrant oils on the bud that gives it that sage/mint smell. Fortunately the cats couldn't care less about this plant as I'm growing many cuttings on our balcony. 🌱
Late summer at the boulevard garden. As a shoe-box apartment dweller, I'm so grateful to have the privilege of caring for a tiny patch of Earth to help decompress from the day and world events 🌱
Summer evenings in the China Creek North Pollinator Garden are magical. As the sun sets over this east-facing hillside it illuminates the tops of the plants and reveals thousands of pollinators as pinpoints of light zipping around as they travel from flower to flower. 🌱
Today's pics from the China Creek North Pollinator Garden are of fuzzy bumblebees and a beewolf. Like the name suggests, the beewolf is a wasp that hunts bees as food for its young. Some of the nectar rockstars right now are Sea Holly, Globe Thistle, Canadian Goldenrod and Yarrow 🌱
I hope you all have some peaceful and stressless holidays! ❤️ My husband and I don't buy each other Christmas gifts. We just buy our own and then pretend the other gave it to us. So I would like to thank @robinbougie.bsky.social with all my heart as visions of prehistoric forests dance in my head🌲🪴
Took the bus up to Whistler. We had a great time exploring the turquoise blue glacial lakes and streams. We walked through a grove of trees where bears like to sharpen in their claws 🐻 (and leave behind big poops).
One of my fav paintings to come out of the Vancouver island art retreat!
