We’d driven past this little lake and nature trail many times, and today we stopped and checked it out. One Mile Lake near Pemberton, BC.

Fort Rodd Hill Wildlife
We visited Fort Rodd Hill near Victoria, BC. We’ve been there several times and enjoy watching the wildlife.
A trio of Turkey Vultures
Beach bum deer : -)
Visiting Royal Roads
We were camping on Vancouver Island and decided to drive down to Victoria for some sightseeing. One of the places we visited was Royal Roads University where I completed an MA in Professional Communication. Hard to believe that was ten years ago!
Rathtrevor Beach Gorgeous Despite Cloudy Day
One of our favourite places to beach walk and explore tidal pools is Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.
Camping at Miracle Beach on Vancouver Island
We took a day off to make a three-day weekend to camp on Vancouver Island. We camped at Miracle Beach Provincial Park. The day started off soggy, but cleared and we got the tent and tarps up before there was further precipitation.

Squamish River Seal, View
Stopped in at the Watershed Grill in Brackendale on the way to Whistler on a daytrip with a visiting cousin. Great view of the Squamish River from the restaurant, and we even spotted a seal.
Victoria BC Daytrip
Had a cousin visiting who wanted to look around Victoria, so we did a daytrip there and back. I always enjoy the ferry with spectacular views.
Checking Out the Q to Q Ferry Trial
We took a ride on the Q to Q ferry service in New Westminster, BC, today. It’s a trial on for a couple of months. It was fun, and we also enjoyed rambling around Port Royal, where we’d never been before.

Running on weekends now
High-tech fare box works great!
The Fraser lives up to its moniker as a “working river.”
Even on a warm summer day it can be breezy and cool on the river
Ran across the fireworks barge
The old Samson V is looking rather rough. Wonder what its preservation status is?
Welcoming New Hiking Boots
I’m a rambling man. . .
An early birthday present. Vibram soles, breathable uppers.
Thank you my darling wife!
Dunno how many pairs of hiking boots I’ve worn out over the decades, ranging from traditional full leather to modern weird stuff.
These seem to be a nice balance of tried-and-true soles and moderately high-tech uppers.
Meeting Daytrip to Victoria
I had a meeting in Victoria, BC, today, and enjoyed the BC Ferries ride there and back.
Super dynamic presentation on marine wildlife by Rachel, who I believe is from Parks Canada
