Arbutus Abstract

I just got back from a 3 day trip to Salt Spring and Pender Island with the Comox Valley Camera Club.  We spent 2 nights in Sidney BC and then took day trips to the Islands via BC Ferries.  The weather wasn’t fantastic so some of the photo’s have light grey sky, but, hey that’s the way it goes sometimes.  The Islands were beautiful and I’ve never ventured over that way before so it was great to see new scenery.  We visited Salt Spring Island first and went to the Saturday Vendor Market, to the top of Mt Maxwell, Ruckles Park with a visit to the historic farm at Ruckles Park to see the wild (Not very) turkeys there.  Sunday we went over to Pender Island and went to Bricky Bay, Roesland Park and Brooks Point on South Pender Island.  Lots of scenery and stuff to see.  My favorite part of the trip was the Arbutus Grove and Bluff in Roesland.  I love the wild shapes and strength of the Arbutus.  It’s a really cool tree..
