Three weeks ago Thursday, the day I was in Vancouver on errands and then had lunch at English Bay Beach, I proceeded on to Stanley Park. One of my stops was Beaver Lake located a short walk northwest of the rose garden. There are many trails throughout the park which includes a trail going around the lake. They are suitable for walking or cycling. You never know what you might see. It could be a little Douglas' Squirrel,
Tamiasciurus douglasii, such as this one found on a bridge running over a small stream that flows into Beaver Lake. Or it might be the many waterlilies that cover most of the lake. You might even find a Great Blue Heron,
Ardea herodias, out fishing amongst the lilies. It's certainly worth a visit!

Wow, that's a lot of lilies. Would you happen to have a microscope? living near the ocean and ponds would be great if you have a microscope.
I don't have a microscope but certainly would like one for the future. It would be interesting examining the ocean water for microscopic sea life!
Anonymous should be me. It hit the wrong button.
lol.
I have a microscope, and when it was new it was REALLY cool. Seeing all the microorganisms is just too cool.
Now the microscope is all old, scratched, dirty, and the high power doesn't work (among others).
