I just really feel seen, y’know?

Seen in September in a marsh on Vancouver Island: a male dragonfly grasping a female at the back of the head during mating.

Did you know that dragonflies first appeared during the early Jurassic, about 200 million years ago?

Current situation on Vancouver Island: rain and wind, fog at night and in early morning.

Photo taken on the traditional and unceded territory of the K'ómoks First Nation, near Kelsey Bay.

Situation actuelle sur l'île de Vancouver : du vent et de la pluie, du brouillard la nuit et tôt le matin.

After the rain stopped; damp boletes, Douglas-fir cones, dead leaves, moss, needles. New blog post: https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2025/10/nothing-but-footprints.html #VancouverIsland #Fungi #Mushrooms #Boletes #NaturePhotography

Great harvest pick of #GrannySmith #apples today. Granny Smith apples are currently one of the most expensive apples in local stores with average pricing of $2.99/lb. The apples we gleaned from one tree, were almost all perfect apples - very few with damage on them 🍏😃
These will be greatly appreciated by many food insecure folks around our community 👍💗
