A trip to Port Renfrew (part II)





Our trip to Port Renfrew wasn't all playing games and drinking by the campsite (though there was an epic Euchre tournament where Karen and I crushed Chris and Jeremi). We did actually make it out to see some of the spectacular scenery along the coast. We took a nice day trip for a little hike to Botany Bay and Botanical Beach, which is reknowned for its tide pools filled with aquatic life. Here are a just a few pictures from this outing.

At the left you can see a picture of a Stellar's Jay, perched upon a piece of driftwood. After many attempts, Chris finally managed to capture a good picture of this cheeky bird with beautiful dark blue plumage. It's a bit bigger than a Blue Jay, and it's the provincial bird of British Columbia.
