Happy Friday everyone! I hope you can find some time to do things that make you happy over the weekend.

Two sea lions swimming near the shoreline in a calm sea. One of them looks at the photographer and barks at her because that's what sea lions do. They bark and they are very loud.

Going back to nature

A very worn and rotten moss covered wood footbridge crosses a stream deep in the forest.

Monochrome shot of me, positioned prominently on a white motorcycle. Handlebars are chrome, detailed. Soft focus on the background showing pedestrians and parked vehicles. High contrast and desaturation creates a vintage aesthetic. "D. Lindenlaub Photography" watermark in the bottom right corner.

Hey #Nanaimo folks. I'll be up your way April 8th-11th. I am meeting & working with a new client who is moving from Nanaimo to Victoria in May. I will have some free time on some afternoons & evenings if Fedi friends want to meet up (DM please & thank you).
I'll be up that way again in May & a few other times this Spring-Fall too, for 2-3 nights each trip, for some cultural reconnection collabs & grassroots, decolonized, community building.

Here's a photo that could be in my Herring Spawn video. This juvenile bald eagle was practicing how to catch a small fish in the big sea.

A juvenile bald eagle hovering a few metres over the sea. Its wings are spread and its talons are extended towards the water. There is a gull in the background. The colour of the water is turquoise due to the herring spawn.

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.

#TexturesTuesday

I love interesting tree #bark. These are two very different old growth trees & their unique bark #textures
#Arbutus / #Madrona & Western Red #Cedar.

An old growth Arbutus tree, close up on its interesting weathered bark. Revealing colorful layers of bark that has changed ovrr time. The bottom layer is pale green, transitioning to brown and then into a pattern of wavy, dark blue-black lines. A section of rough, white runs vertically along the top left. Cracks and weathered textures are visible throughout the bark.

A close-up shot reveals the intricate texture of cedar tree bark, featuring a mix of long, vertical ridges intersected by horizontal lines, creating a distinct and aged appearance. The color palette is predominantly brown and silver, with deeper shadows adding depth and highlighting the weathered surface of the bark.

Young #cedar #tree is all dressed in magnificent #mosses & #lichen
One of the lovely sights you can see & admire, while exploring the coastal temperate rainforests in BC.

A dense, verdant forest scene featuring a prominent cedar tree trunk with branches heavily draped in long, hanging moss. The moss creates a sense of depth and an enchanted atmosphere. The scene is dominated by shades of green and brown, with filtered light creating soft shadows

American Crow.

I never tire of photographing these interesting birds. Although common throughout North America, their intelligence and curiosity is always entertaining to watch through my lens.

A portrait of a crow. The crow gazes towards the left hand frame of the photograph. Small flecks of sand are visible on its beak and head, and the crows dark eyes and feathers are contrasted by a bright, grey background.

Pixie cup & lipstick #lichens & #liverwort mixed in with assorted #mosses. Super green microworlds
Just another ecological component of a healthy & biodiverse, coastal temperate rainforest ecosystem on #Wsanec territory.

Full shot of vibrant green and brown mosses and lichen up close. Foreground displays needle-like mosses among leafy liverworts and stalk-shaped lichen in intricate detail. Dynamic lighting highlights varying textures and densities. A nature photograph, focusing on the intricate details of a micro ecosystem.

#ForestFriday

A lovely unnamed creek, meandering through a coastal temperate #rainforest in the Highlands area of #Wsanec territory. Very few old growth left in this forest; mostly 3rd growth & younger with a few 2nd growth trees mixed in. This is a great area to look for mushrooms.

A low-angle perspective of a lush woodland scene dominated by a large, leafless tree heavily covered in vibrant green moss. The moss hangs dramatically from its branches, creating a dense, tentacle-like appearance. Behind this central tree, a dense forest extends toward the horizon, with numerous tall, slender trees also adorned with moss, suggesting a moist environment. A small, dark pond or pool of water is surrounded by ferns. The overall atmosphere is damp, cool, and green, typical of a Pacific Northwest forest. The sky is overcast, providing soft, diffused light.

#FoliageFriday

From yesterday.
#Columbine foliage is emerging.
#Iris heads are pushing up.

A high-angle shot of a circular arrangement of small, bright green columbine leaves with rounded edges, with water droplets sitting on the top leaves. The image is tightly cropped. Background is blurred with dark soil and blurred green foliage. The leaves have defined veins, with contrast between light and shadow.

A close-up ground-level angled view captures the early stages of bearded iris plants sprouting from rich brown soil sprinkled with moss. The plants have long, pointed leaves with hints of burgundy near the base. A weathered wooden fence runs horizontally in the background, partially obscured by newer plant growth, creating a scene of renewal and growth against a rustic backdrop.

From yesterday. In our front gardens.
Yellow & purple #crocus #flowers.

Close-up shot of several vibrant yellow crocus flowers in full bloom, contrasting against dark, grainy soil. A dark rose stem with menacing thorns at both top and right cuts vertically across the frame. Composition is a ground-level, slightly high-angle view, capturing the delicate texture of the flower petals and the rough texture of the thorny rose branch.

A close-up, top-down view of a blooming purple crocus flower. The flower has six purple petals with delicate veining, surrounding a white center. A bright yellow stamen stands prominently. The flower is surrounded by green grass and brown mulch. There are small damaged spots on the flower's petals.

The anniversary of my Dad's death from #covid cardiac arrest is coming up again in June. If anyone wants to support me & my family with our remembrance of my Dad & also help support us in long battle for justice from unmasked #SaanichPolice - please add me on your Signal - phoenixserenity.54

I'd like to compile a bunch of audio messages & any kind of artwork for this year's ceremony of beloved remembrance for my Dad. He died after getting infected by unmasked staff in local hospital. Unmasked cops, including the lead cop, Jason Whittaker - who is president of the SPD union abused us. I also want to compile something to let Saanich PD know - I am not fucking letting this go.

Please record:
Fuck you, Jason Whittaker & add whatever you want to rest of audio recording.

Please create Fuck You, Jason Whittaker or similar messages to #Saanich Police & tell them what you think of their antimasking egotistical loser of a 'leader' they chose to represent them.
