This morning I rose early to find a beautiful day!
I woke the dog, grabbed the camera and headed for the Gorge waterway.
The Gorge is a salt water waterway that runs though the city. This day the water was mirror like in it’s calmness and a stunning opportunity for photograph’s.

Sometimes to understand a complicated subject, we need to put it to black and white.

Botanical Beach, Juan De Fuca Provincial Park, Vancouver Island, Canada
Click on any picture to enlarge.
Botanical Beach is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It is part of the Juan de Fuca Provincial Park. It is an amazing place even in the morning fog. We struck camp at 6:30 am and made it down to Botanical Beach for the 8:09 am low tide of 1.5 feet. It is a half mile hike down to the beach from the parking lot. The fog was heavy on the trees tops.
At the bottom of the steep terrain the beach opens up to the pacific ocean. It is a vast space. 
The blue of the ocean hides under the fog. The fog does not detract from the astounding space of Botanical Beach.
The diversity is not only in the plant and animal life, it is compounded in the rock formations.
Tide pools abound – both small and large like the one above that mirrors the trees up on the cliff.
Or like this one, small but deep.
Or this one that harbours a sea urchin and some sea vegetation.
Botanical Beach is a shutter bugs dream! Everywhere you look, another stellar vista to take in.
Botanical Beach, Vancouver Island, BC Canada Aug 2 2012
Stunning even in the fog!
The silent power of the sea speaks loudly here! Barren rock with hidden tide pools lush with urchins, sea weeds and a nursery for the young fish.
A nice shelter made of driftwood – next storm will reveal the roots of an old tree long washed into the water some winter night long ago.
The morning fog defies the boundary between us and the sea.
A testament to time it’s self.
The way we came
The never ending search for sustenance.
The starkness of this diversity is where we find prosperity – not in the sameness that so many of us desire.
