The old photography adage that you should never leave home without your camera is so true. One day, with a few minutes to kill, I decided to take a walk in a nearby forested area. Suddenly, I spotted a velociraptor prowling through the foliage. Naturally, my first instinct was to flee from this terrible predator. Fortunately, I had seen all of the Jurassic Park movies, so I knew running was foolhardy. For about ten minutes, I remained perfectly still. Luckily, the raptor ignored me. However, as it was leaving, I was able, with shaking hands, to take a couple of shots. After the velociraptor left, I asked myself was this dinosaur some lone survivor living/hiding in the forests outside Vancouver? An escapee from some research lab? A lost extra from one of the Jurassic Park movies? No, actually it was a life-size replica I came across at Richmond's night market. :) The photo was taken in June 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
P.S. I am slowly catching up.

The old photographer's adage that you should never leave home without your camera is so true. This was certainly the case when I encountered this velociraptor, and boy was I happy that I had my long lens. Truth be told, velociraptors are pretty rare around here, which is probably just as well considering the raptor's long and sharp teeth. ;) The photo was taken in July 2018, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

Even velociraptors like trick-or-treat. However, they get a bit cranky if you do have any treats to give them. The photo was taken in July 2019, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Happy Halloween.
