Trailside Salmonberry
The girls spotted this - I missed it. Salmon berry is pretty common, even in downtown Vancouver. This is two pictures composited. I have other photos which include the leaves which makes me more sure of the ID. Species: Rubus spectabilis (salmonberry)

There was a small patch of this growing by where I used to work in Burnaby so it caught my eye here when I saw it at the side of the road (and plentiful). This is a terrible photo. Species: Lotus corniculatus (bird's-foot trefoil)

Sunflower Star and Leather Star
The sunflower (Pycnopodia helianthoides) is a real predator - it would eat the leather star (Dermasterias imbricata) if given a chance. This sunflower star has 18 arms, but from the look of it, some are rather new. Fully grown, they should about 20 arms. Tags: sea star
