Maybe there was something about that boat trip that has me wanting to spend more time by the water... even though we see it from our window every day.
We drove out to Metchosin past the gravel pit.
Parked the car and wandered around Aylard Farm in East Sooke Park. The grass seems especially tawny this year. Usually around this time there are hawks and vultures soaring in the sky, riding the thermals, but maybe it is still a bit early yet. (Yes, according to this website, it happens from mid September to late October. There can be as many as a thousand turkey vultures, it says!)
Down at the beach
An arbutus trunkWe hadn't been to this park in some time - we couldn't remember how long. Nothing much had changed except that now there is a parking lot attendant who keeps an eye on things and provides information pamphlets, maps, and water and treats for dogs. "Welcome to my office," she said. Nice office.
