Another Canada Day weekend image.

Usually beaver don't let you get very close. But this one let me drift almost on top of him. Maybe he was focused on the kid on a paddleboard. Kid was about 50 meters away screaming; "Beaver, beaver...."

Olympus TG-6 camera.

No idea! It's been a few years since I saw it. Definitely one of the creepier episodes, along with those dang stone angels!

Yes it was Jack Harness' first appearance, first season of the relaunch (2005) set during WWII with Chris Eccleston as Dr. Who with Billie Piper as Rose.

I love these!!..only eat them when we are home in the Philippines though, the ones in US from grocery are horrible tasting.
I like them raw but also love them when my wife cooks Lumpiang Saging (Turon) with them and Lakatan banana or Saba banana as filling...Mmmmm... Masarap!!!
