Recent Adventures

Over the past few weeks, I have had many adventures in nature. A great bike trip on the Galloping Goose Regional Trail from Victoria to Sooke, British Columbia, introduced me to all sorts of plants. Endangered Garry Oak ecosystems hosted a variety of stunning native plants. Within the mixed coniferous/deciduous forest, there was Orange Honeysuckle, Red Columbine, Broad-leaved Stonecrop, Columbia Lily, and many more interesting plants in bloom. Black-tailed Deer, Hares, and California Quail also made occasional appearances! 

Next week, a family trip took us to the Sunshine Coast. Sargeant Bay Provincial Park was home to all sorts of wildlife on land and below water. Snorkelling along the shore, I found crabs, sponges, perch, sculpin, and sea stars. Exposed in the mudflats there was an odd looking Bay Ghost Shrimp that was  a fun find. All in all, it's been a pretty fun start to summer in beautiful British Columbia!
