Tofino - Frank Island at Chesterman Beach

On this day (2017-06-28), after beachcombing around Big Beach, in Ucluelet, we next opted for a completely different beach. We traded in the sharp, black rocks, and boulders of Big Beach for the vast stretches of Chesterman Beach sand. For today's postcard, however, I've chosen something a little less than sandy. Frank Island is a rocky feature at the end of a long peninsula of sand that defines north versus south Chesterman Beach. I present two postcards of the same view to illustrate the different moods colour versus black and white can portray.

Swartz Bay - Ferry passing Piers Island

On this day (2016-09-25), we're on our way to Mayne Island with Darryl and Gail. The first step in our mini-vacation (not counting the drive from home to Swartz Bay) was taking the ferry for Village Bay on Mayne Island. Here, leaving Swartz Bay, Piers Island was particularly photogenic.

Victoria - Beacon Hill Park

We booked into a hotel in Victoria for Valentine's Day this year. As is usual in February, Victoria was damp and chilly. Nonetheless, we decided to explore a part of Beacon Hill Park that we'd not seen before. These peacocks at the petting zoo (closed for the winter) were kind enough to pose for the camera.
