My home, Kitimat, BC has had a taste of “rewilding.” District employees were on strike from February 28, 2015 until today, June 12, which meant the grass in the parks, verges and byways has been growing wild since the spring thaw.
The grass, blowing in the wind, creates beautiful, impressionistic patterns….and have become (until the grass is mowed in the coming days) a haven for birds and wildlife.
Images were taken on my morning walks on June 8 and 9.
After a winter of mostly wet, overcast, low light, awful weather, spring has returned to Kitimat and Haisla. So a few images from the March 30, shorebird count by the Kitimat Valley Naturalists.

In honour of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2025, a foggy and rainy day at the famous ancient Bronze Age Dun Aengus (Anglicized) fort on the Isle of Aran, County Galway, Ireland. I visited Dún Aonghasa (Irish) during a trip to Ireland in the spring of 1978. Ancestry says I am 16% Irish.
