During my recovery from "The Calamitous Incident of the Motorcycle in the Morning" I've gathered the troops of the walking contingent within our running group. Due to its very nature, i.e., jogging, there seem to always be a few of us that are recovering from something, usually knee-related it seems.
This week it was Phillip (and June) and me. Chris (Karen's husband, not Jenn's) was also going to join us along with their dog, but the dog had suffered some sort of emergency vet visit during the night and Chris was still attending to the event. Then Phillip and June's dog developed Kennel Cough, so it turned out to be only three humans and one dog, Tannah, that enjoyed the early morning solitude of Deer Lake.
I brought along my "big" camera, an ancient first generation dSLR in home of spotting Trevor, the rumoured Mandarin duck at Deer Lake that's been written about in the local papers. But alas, no beginners luck on that front.

| Lotsa gulls and ducks at Deer Lake on Saturday morning. |

| I love these long (almost) winter shadows. |

| Mostly dozing ducks. |

| We're so fortunate to have such a tranquil lake right in the middle of Burnaby. |

Whoever said "Birds of a feather flock together" must never have seen someone
feeding the birds (of which a Park sign requested people not do). There were
crows in the mix too, just not in my camera frame. |
