Byrne Creek Shrew
This teeny shrew (about the size of my thumb) was scurrying along the sidewalk on Southridge Dr. in southeast Burnaby. Since it was heading for the busy street, Yumi gently picked it up and carried it several meters up the embankment into the park where she released it.
I doubt if Mom would have liked shrews, but she would have understood Yumi's urge to protect the wee tyke.
