Thinking back upon #Summer memories, walking around #ButchartGardens - on #WsanecTerritory.

#SentinelSaturday

A regal #eagle sentinel, overwatching in #Saanich.

Colquitz River. In Summer.
As seen from the footbridge in Cuthbert Holmes, a Saanich municipal park. Colquitz Creek/River is an important local salmon bearing waterway. It is part of a protected watershed system that includes Craigflower Creek. Both feed out into Portage Inlet & the Gorge Waterway.

Beautiful #textures on a #sandstone & #shale #bedrock cliff.

During the dark wet winters in #wsanecterritory #fungi still bloom, a ghostly note echoing from tree to tree. The quietest music to be heard. #wander #funghi #pilze ＃キノコ　#forestwalk

The #calypsoorchids are coming up in the forest. They glitter in the dappled light. I kneel, prostrate myself before them. To gaze at their gorgeous lips. To behold their mottled depths. This is a kind of prayer.

Waiting for the moment. The moment arrives. Gladness blooms inside my chest. The garden in my heart.
