Haze Day
#NatureArt #naturepark

This day exploded with snowdrops, bees, insects, and the first Red Admirable butterfly (Vanessa atalanta). Since my early childhood, it's my ritual to fill the first seen #flowers after winter into this vase. The snowdrops in our village date from the 1920s. A wonderful scent, the bees are powdered with pollen! If it's too cold, snowdrops are self-pollinators.

Sometimes it’s nice to stop and just enjoy the view for a little while.

I'm happy like a small child to have found these #treasures at our international #embroidery festival! So great for my #BiodiversityShrines!

Even more important are the talks: With an author of embroidery books who sold these "scraps", and the employee of the #naturepark was just as enthusiastic as I was and asked me if I would like to join her in organising children's courses with #handicrafts on #biodiversity. Oh yesss!

Bertie and I checked out a new park today. It wasn’t very crowded and had some spectacular views! There were several people trail running.

Bertie gets FOMO if passed and raises a ruckus because we don’t speed up and catch the person who passed. I posted a brief video of these antics:

One of a few truckloads of #driftwood dropped off at Gorge Park for the ongoing nature rewilding restoration project. This is near the estuary area of the large urban nature park; by the Gorge nature house.

Underwater fountains are used to keep water aerated & prevent too many mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water.

The District of #CentralSaanich says #ButterfieldPark will soon grow to nearly double its current size once it finishes purchasing an 18-acre parcel of land.

On Friday, the municipality said it had negotiated an agreement to purchase 18 acres of land at 1124 Mount Newton Cross Rd., which borders Butterfield #Park, at a cost of $3.2 million.

It's great to see #water where I didn't see some for years. This part of the forest suffered extremely from last years droughts. Many large trees died. Their small descendants will thrive for the time being. And tomorrow I'll tell you how I verified that we indeed have #beavers!
