From Edmonton to Yellowknife to Norman Wells to Inuvik
Arrived at Inuvik two days ago. The weather has been quite incredible so far - super sunny, cloudless sky, 24 hour daylight, and no mosquitoes yet. Here are photos from my journey from Edmonton to Inuvik.
Flying over some pretty incredible landscape, especially over places where you can't see any human destruction at all.

Herons finding and catching prey
Once again the terrible weather has not arrive yet (I am dreading it). But at least I can enjoy another dry but gray day.
The Bald Eagle was at home when I rode by.
Almost got a straight face-on passport shot like this one. So funny! I think I scared this heron and it flew away when I was photographing it. Sorry.

More Blossoms in Steveston
I drove my mother to Steveston to return some library books and buy some groceries.
After borrowing the books, we walked around the library and the Steveston Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre to check out the blossoms.

Awaiting blue day
As much as it is great for the world to see Vancouver's true winter gray, miserable colors (and why nobody know about this beforehand, I have no idea), I wish sunshine would just appear for a while (I tried to go out on Thursday, but as soon as I got to the dyke, it started pouring and so I went back home).
Today was just one of the days I been wishing for - although many people probably wished the same thing judging by the number of people today at the dyke.
Beautiful blue sky with a good view.
Plenty of birds, such as Golden-crowned Sparrows, were out foraging.
So magnificent. It flew away shortly afterwards, but what an experience to see it closer!
Such elegant birds. I wouldn't know they were there had they not make any noises.
Beautiful sky-watching at Terra Nova.
Zooming out of the TCON lens gave this interesting dark corners around the image. Is this what lomography is?
Sunset - time to go home.

While at the Share-Farm, I saw a Short-eared Owl flying towards the Snow Geese and disappearing behind the tall grasses. I decided to go and see where it had landed and hoped I will be able to photograph it. And there it was! Standing on top of a pole and looking at the grasses below.

By the Terra Nova Slough, I saw a pair of Killdeers again at the spot where a pair nested last year. I wonder if they are the same couple.

Sunset - time to go home.Oh yeah, Happy Valentine's Day / Chinese New Year / first Canadian gold medal in Canada (can't believe no one won a gold back in '88).

More Morning Colors
For two days in a row, the morning sky has been just absolutely breath-taking. I just can't resist taking my camera out while waiting for the skytrain and capture the moments.
Waiting for the train.
Inside the train. This could easily be the most beautiful image I had captured...had there not been a person's head or the window blocking the way.
Another shot looking across the river.
Morning sun rising...
... and painting the city in one of my favorite colors.
Sky/mountain/tree/seaplane-watching all at once.
A B&W shot of the waterfront.

Finally, a clear day
The rain has finally ceased today!
Taking a quick photo of the sky before I enter Canada Line.
Crooked beak of a gull.
This particular cormorant is a bit intriguing because its white tufts above the head indicate it is a Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) adult in breeding plumage, but I thought their breeding season occurs during the spring and summer?
These, I am pretty sure, are Pelagic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus). Look how stiff-looking those tails are! Must be a powerful swimming tool.
Cormorant and gull
Nice shots of a Pelagic Cormorant.
Another dark bird, but it's a crow - trying to be a pirate or something.
Sunshine!
This moon shot was taken when I arrived home in the evening. Not out-of-focus, but the moon was just trying its best trying to shine through the clouds. No such luck.
