   Ian Cooper writes:  I went out for a pre-dawn bike ride early this morning (April 18) to see what creatures I might spot at Colquitz River Park (*) in Saanich and the Galloping Goose Trail (#) in View Royal, and I managed to get a few decent pictures.  It rained on the ride back, but luckily I’d brought rain gear with me. Also included is a daytime photo of a beetle spotted crawling along the new Dallas Waterfront Trail near Camas Circle on April 5.
