My blog, like life, is a mixture of all sorts of things . . . gardening, nature, crafts and photography. Right now it's the time of year when the focus is more on the non-gardening things I love to do. But I'm always thinking and dreaming of gardening.

Whiffen Spit Reflections

Today I'm sharing a couple of reflection photos that I took while we were walking along Whiffen Spit in Sooke on our trip to Vancouver Island last November 2011.

It was a gorgeous sunny day perfect for capturing reflection photos in the water.  This long jetty or pier extended right out into the water.  It was low tide when we were there and I was able to get the whole reflection of the pier in the water.

A close up of the end of the pier really shows the angle of the down ramp to where the boats were moored.  The water also captured the reflections of the boats, the poles, and the trees.  This pier was at the beginning of our walk along Whiffen Spit, about 30 minutes in each direction..  We were lucky to see the black oystercatcher, many ducks and a seal on our walk. No whales that day. I'm sure to be posting more of the photos we took soon.  If you are interested in finding out more about Whiffen Spit, be sure to check out this site.

  2. So beautiful Linda. Great captures on the reflections. I wish I could put paint to paper and paint it. I've thinking of getting back into painting.

  3. Your photos made me realize how different the 'scenery' is out here - and how I recognize, from your usual Ontario shots, how familiar they are as well! And I wonder if, by chance, we passed each other on the street while you were out here. I imagine you had a lovely visit.

  7. What a cute name! Whiffen Spit! I wonder how the name came about. What a long pier! I've never seen one so long.
