Vancouver Island, BC 4.10

Our version of the unexpected: meeting a family from Alberta in an otherwise deserted rain forest, getting our feet wet on the boggy trail, hail, remnants of a tropical garden, and the song of a bugling elk.


We have nurse logs in Washington forests, but nothing like what we found on Vancouver Island.


We had some sunshine and beautiful dramatic clouds on the beach at Tofino.


Dinner on the beach at sunset. Perfect.


Lots of moisture to feed the moss and giant trees.
