The trails at Elk Falls are beautiful!
Gorgeous views
The Elk Falls are breathtaking!
Some of the Douglas Fir trees, like this one, at Cathedral Grove, are over 800 years old!
Deer are everywhere in the Comox Valley and it's not uncommon to see a family with fawns in neighbourhoods like this! There are so many deer in the area that you'll see road signs like this:
In between the sightseeing and visiting, I also enjoyed some quiet time at our campsite, working on my Stampin' Up! business. I am so blessed to have a job that I LOVE and to be able to work where ever I want! You can too! Pop me an email at serenestamper@gmail.com if you'd like information on how you can get paid to play with stamps and glitter and share your crafting passion with others (it's pretty awesome!).
I always loved going to Kye Bay Beach when I was growing up and spent many, many hours here. It's great when the tide is out and you can walk forever along the sand, searching for shells and sand dollars...
I thought it would be cool to get a photo of me holding this big, dead crab I found - until it's legs moved just seconds after this picture was taken! OMG - it was airborne in 1.5 seconds, lemme tell ya! LOL Don't worry, said crab was okay and I made sure to NOT pick up any more after that!
I have always LOVED fishing and it was so nice to get back on the water and get the lines in! Nothing beats the views OR the 'zing' of the reel with a fish on!
Photos never do justice to the scenery.
