Little Qualicum Falls

Little Qualicum Falls has been on my list of places to see for quite while and yesterday was the perfect chance. After being soaked with 24 hours of heavy rain, the river and falls were roaring! Here's a few shots taken in the evening around the Upper Falls.

Nitinat River Spruce & Maple Forest

Took some time over the holidays to explore an area of old-growth forest in the Nitinat Lake region. It turned out to be filled with giant, beautiful Sitka spruce trees, moss covered big-leaf maples, and herds of Roosevelt elk. A truly prehistoric looking forest that feels like a trip back in time just a few hours from Victoria here on Vancouver Island.
