While I occasionally catch a glimpse of a Northern River Otter here and there as I walk along the West Song or West Bay Walkways I have not before seen an entire family. This group of five was busily catching something in the seaweed along the shoreline. I particularly like that about 30 seconds into the video you can see they all take notice of me and while they don't panic, they nevertheless disappear fairly quickly shortly after. To see such abundant wildlife here in the city always seems like a privilege to me and something we should treasure carefully. Below is a brief video of this group of five.

Dog
Tonight at dusk we went out for a beautiful walk through the park and along the water. I took 74 pictures it was so nice out and yet all the time, some little warning bell was going off. Yet I ignored it, so lovely was the dusk light. Now though, looking through the pictures I realize the ISO was set at 1600 and the pictures are all a little bit grainy...however this one of our new puppy is a nice portrait and now I have an excuse to go out and try again! - Fern

James Bay
Friends from out of town are staying at the lovely Oswego Hotel on the seventh floor and have this beautiful view looking out toward the Olympic Mountains. -fern

Canada Day Fireworks
Canada Day would not be complete without fireworks! And like old barns and sunsets, if you have your camera in hand you can't help but try and take a few shots. I like this one with the totem pole silhouetted by the fireworks, it's a nice juxtaposition. -Fern
