It was a rainy Saturday. Thing 1 was at a friend's house. Thing 2 is very observant, so I decided to take him on a different kind of hike, changing the level of detail. Instead of grand vistas, we would observe the woods close up.
We packed a plastic sheet and headed down a portion of the Central Valley Greenway, an urban green belt that runs through a large swath of Vancouver.
The heavy rain had brought the banana slugs out. We compared the sizes and colors.
We headed off the trail into a stand of cedar trees. We were only a few meters from the trail but felt like we were in the heart of the woods. We found a spot under the trees that was well sheltered, laid down our plastic sheet, got down on our tummies and poked around in the mulch. We shone our flashlights in the nooks and crannies and saw that what at first appeared to be eggs were actually some kind of insect.
