San Josef Bay Slide Show

San Josef Bay

This is just one of many stunning sights to be seen on the Cape Scott Trail on North Vancouver Island. This one and the slide show contained in the link below are on the San Josef Bay Trail, a smaller hike and one suitable of old people or just out of shape people. It is 3.5 Kilometres into the Bay and I would really recommend you plan it for a very low tide, so that you can walk around on the beach for a couple of hours. Accessing the Sea Otter caves and Sea Stacks is only possible at low tide.

The picture above is of one of the forestry campsites, which has no facilities other than outhouses, and a good road. This is close to water, and we found it full of mosquitos, but a little "Off" made it quite bearable.

Through the Eye of a Grasshopper

DSC_3564B

When more and more of our flora and fauna are relegated to smaller and smaller places, one has to envy the grasshopper who sees the beauty of moss, fir cones, and tiny seedlings as giants.  Fortunately with today's macro lenses we can see through his eyes and again find beauty in the otherwise cluttered world of industry and commerce.
