There was nothing but sunshine today on Vancouver Island as Betty & I enjoyed a restful day at the beach – Long Beach that is. Tomorrow we are on the road again, heading to Port Alberni, on our way to Nanaimo. But on this day off, here are a few pics from our incredible island interlude:
This is the beach where we spent the day: Heavenly!Before we left, Betty had some quiet time, contemplating life and looking over the harbour behind our campsite.There are still little blooming flowers all around us – daisies, dandelions, and these little blue things…Deer appear quite plentiful in our campground, and often come by for a visit.Our campground is actually right in Ucluelet, where the streets are much steeper than anything we would find in Winnipeg. lol.It’s a relatively short drive from our campsite to Long Beach, within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.All along the way, a bike/ walking path fringes the highway.The newest stretch appears to run all the way to Tofino. It is paved, and very impressive!On the beach were long strands of bullwhip kelp, like this one.It was great just to walk on the beach in the sunshine.The tide was going out, and little streams formed artistic paths through the sand on their way back to the Pacific Ocean.The waves were quite large today.They pounded the rock in the background with a mighty crash.As the tide ebbed & flowed, it circled large rocks on the beach.Betty & Charlie took a break on this one.So I set my camera’s timer up to capture part of this incredible island interlude.
That was our day today – at the end of October on Vancouver Island.
