MOVED ALONG TO OUR NEXT STOP.

We had a fun week with our RV friends and moved down to my cousin Neil and Carol's in Duncan.  The earliest ferry reservation I could get to depart from Duke Point, Nanaimo was September 21 and that was at 7:45 am.  Even that day and the next there were no available bookings until 7 pm.  So, we will go back to Charlie and Sheila's from here.  Our son and granddaughter are driving up from Victoria this morning to have a last visit before we head home.  The photos included this post were taken during our RV group week but are in no particular order. 

Lots of maple trees in the forest trails around the RV park.

I was walking quietly along a trail geocaching when I heard this Junco tsking (that's a quiet sound they make) and he posed for me.

As I was shooting the Junco I heard a sound behind me and it was this little squirrel.

Backlit lichen way up on a tree.

Rocks in the creek.  The green is from the sun shining on leafy trees across the creek.

Spider web trappings.

A maple leaf drifting on a pond.

One day four of us found this suspension bridge over Haslam Creek and with the help of ropes tied to trees, made our way down to the creek bed.  If you look carefully, the bridge is in the upper section of the photo. 

iNaturalist called this a Spotted Tussock Moth but I'm not certain of that.  Let me know if you know.

Fern shadows on the trail in front of me.

Twisty maples.
