Ucluelet - Wild Pacific Trail

Before chercking in at the Cabins at Terrace Beach, we decided to check out the Wild Pacific Trail. Here we are, looking out over the Pacific as swells crash on jagged rocks. (2015-08-14)

Comox - Goose Spit Park view...

Having finished our walk around the Comox Marina, we wondered, "What is that spit in the distance?". We pointed the car in the general direction, and ended up here, at Goose Spit Park.

Nanaimo - Cottle Lake Cormorants

I hadn't been to Cottle Lake for quite some time, so it was nice to be able to take advantage of the nice weather to have another look around. Among other things, I spotted these cormorants. I've frequently seen cormorants while kayaking on salt water, but seeing them quite at home on fresh water was new to me. (2015-02-05)

Ucluelet - Fish processing plant

We've come to this Ucluelet dock to see if the sea lions were active on this day (2014-02-01). They were, but just barely.

Victoria - One Of The Busiest Floatplane Harbours Anywhere

For a change, on our recent visit to Victoria, we crossed the "Blue Bridge" to explore the Songhees side of the harbour. We'll need to do it again, when the weather's a bit warmer. The picture below: seen from the Songhees Shore of Victoria, BC.

Nanaimo - Late Summer Colours On Newcastle Island

An August kayaking trip took Alex and me to Newcastle Island where the low tide required a bit of a walk from the water's edge. Once above the high-water mark, the island showed the classic late summer Gulf Island palette.

Nanaimo - Bracket Fungus At Hemer Park

It was an early March (2015-03-01) day, ans it wasn't raining. Thus, a good day to take a walk. It'd been some time since we'd hast visited Hemer Park. As we passed along the shore of Holden Lake, we spotted quite a collection of fungi.
