We are back to near Ford Cove on Honby Island again with some more fascinating rock formations. There is some layering between the solid sand stone. There is a big clump of seaweed on the left side of the photo and many loose boulders on the edge near the vegetation. The blue ocean and sky give it a "wish you were here" kind of look.
Thumbs up anyone? The sand stoned on Denman and Hornby Islands are amazing. Being soft as they are the elements shape them easily and the erosion gives them many patterns and faces. These are near Ford Cove on Honby Island. The cliff around them are covered with ivy and give the sand stone a nice lively contrast.
Arbutus trees are not only photogenic but also fascinating. Their bark has a thin paper like peel that sheds in patches. The shedding exposes different colors from reds to greens. To my knowledge the arbutus only grow on certain parts of the West-Coast. I have seen many on and around Vancouver Island.
These are near Ford Cove on Hornby Island. The lovely lady in the picture is my dear friend, Madeleine Wood, who knows arbutus trees inside and out. See her paintings here It can't get any more Canadian than this scene here captured in Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island. The owners of this beach house did a marvelous job decorating and keeping the natural look. Red chairs have been popping up everywhere in Canada on our 150th. anniversary but these chairs and their setting take the cake for me.
Give them a thumbs up if you feel the same. Tree Island is a small island north of Denman Island, British Columbia. It can be reached from Denman Island on foot at low tide and by boat from Mainland BC., Vancouver Island, and surrounding islands. It is graced with large trees, a sandy beach on the west side and large rocks on the east.
This picture was taken from Union Bay with the low tide exposing the colourful rocks and the Coastal Mountains in the background. This is the final picture of the Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump series. It has been a pleasure to honor the history of our First Nations' ancestry and history.
The tepee here with a long path to it symbolizes the the path we all need to walk in order to honor our past and our ancient customs and sacred ceremonies. Click here for the first picture.

This picture is a bit like a Monet painting with a hazy look due to wild fires all over British Columbia and Alberta. It reflects the simple charm of the Alberta landscape.

I chose to share it with you because of the calming simplicity of the prairie with a small hill. The path seems long and inviting to walk into the distance to explore.

The hazy sky is tainted by wild fires. It is extremely hot and the grasses are crispy dry with patches of green. The buffalo roamed this land a long time ago and the First Nations hunted them. The buffalo jump keeps their stories alive.
