Probably a Hawk?

After I dropped off kid at school this morning I heard some crows freaking out and looked up. The crows were harassing what I think is a red tailed hawk.

Excuse the cruddy zoomed in Iphone photos, she was a good 50 feet up at the top of a tree. Just not bothered at all by the crows, she flew away when a seagull got in on the action, but didn’t go far and didn’t seem bothered by the other birds following her.

 

Can we also talk about how beautiful and clear it was this morning? After the deluge last night, the mountains looked so beautiful this morning.

 

Night walking

Well technically, this one is night boating! After a very full and fun day yesterday walking around the seawall and then down to Granville Island we took the Aquabus back to Science World and hopped on the Skytrain to get home. Sadly I did not get my shiny Feebas, which was most of the reason for going out. However, we did a Groudon raid and I managed to catch one of them so it wasn’t a total wash.

And then today I went out on a raid walk, and the usual thing happened where I thought I would only go to one or two raids and then head home. But I ended up staying out until after dark. I did catch a Lunatone in a solo raid that I decided to do as I was walking home. This week has been a personal best for me and I’ve managed to walk over 50 kilometers. I’m officially tired, since most of that walking was this weekend!

 

Please accept this crappy cell phone photo of the full moon this evening. I cannot see the eclipse from the house which is fairly disappointing, but we can’t have everything!

Are we there yet?

Making New Year’s resolutions never works, or so I’m told. But I did promise my kid I’d spend more time with her and part of that is walking to school in the mornings. Thank the gods the sun is coming back and it is no longer “night” time when we leave for school. It was very very chilly this morning though the sky was beautiful and clear.

Honestly my favourite colour palette is “Winter in Vancouver.” Usually there is more grey though!
