Snapshot: Sunrise at Willows Beach

Gorgeous sunrise at Willows Beach in Oak Bay this morning! I've been trying to make a point of biking to the ocean early each day to watch the sun come up. It's a wonderful addition to the morning routine and you just never know what you're going to get! It also happens to be at reasonable hour this time of year which also helps ;)

Snapshot: Blue Heron & Roosevelt Elk

While in Port Renfrew earlier this week I decided to check the San Juan River estuary for elk in the morning. I came across a lovely scene with 6 or 7 of them grazing in the meadow and a short while after watching, a great blue heron took flight right towards them. It's incredible what magic moments await us in nature if we only take the time to be out there and experience them.
