Check out the whiskers on this dude. He (well, at least I think it's a he) swam so close to us that I swear we could almost touch his head. We had tons of fun feeding him and two others at the Oak Bay Marina, Victoria. Couldn't get rid of the fish smell from my fingers for the longest time. Note to self: frozen fish stink no matter what they tell ya.
Stunning blue/purple/white orchid at the Butterfly Garden, Victoria. I have never seen one this color before and took a snapshot of this before my lens blurred. The humidity was stiffling in the garden but well worth the visit.
Ah, the majestic peacock. Nobody told us they SQUAWK like there's no tommorrow. One peacock making a loud squawk was deafening, imagine being in the midst of 10 others like him. Petting Zoo at Beacon Hill, Victoria.
Close up... of.... something.... stinky.....at the beach, on Tofino. OK. I think it's part of a seaweed-thingee... who knows. I didn't get too close in case it burst out into wee little aliens and start incubating my stomach.

Tofino is an amazing place with so many creatures. Here's a starfish caught in one of the many tidal pools around our cabin.
We love our cabin at Tofino. My husband's only complain was "WHAT NO CABLE?!?! What the hell are we gonna do?" Other than that, we love the cabin and its super easy access to the beach. I only wish the fleas on our bed share our sentiments. Note to self: dog-friendly place means flea-loving friends.

It's amazing when you wake up to this type of view. I took a walk with Lise Jr. at 8am on this morning, just as the tide was about to go out. You can see the Wickinmish.... wickenmish... wicken...nashi.... OK, whatever.... I can't spell but half the places in Tofino had native American names on almost every street and place.
Love Tofino. Am hoping to return again one of these days. If you ever get the chance, do go up there. It's sooooooooo worth it!
Hope you enjoy the pics as I do sharing them.
