Summer...sort of


Saint John's Wort in bloom in my garden, and fuzzy headed young bucks are putting on muscle eating everything in sight.



A little side trip to Cowichan Lake on a rainy day, with the odd glimpse of sunshine lighting up surrounding hills.
Eight hundred Years old...or maybe older, this old fir still stands proud a few steps away from a deserted country road.
Hidden clear mountain lakes await the onslaught of summer vacationers. In the meantime, silence reigns.
Wavering between sunshine and rain, forest plants, covered with rain drops, glitter in the sun.
Gordon River leading from Carmanagh Mountains into the Bay of Port Renfrew.
The bay at Port Renfrew, its long beach is strewn with giant logs, which have floated here on the swells of the open Pacific.
On the dock...a Baldheaded Eagle lunching on a fish.
French Beach, where millions of rounded pebbles roll with the surge of oceans swells.
