Chasing light in the enchanted forest #2...Happy Earth Day 2021
In honour of Earth Day 2021 on April 22, I wanted to repost a couple of my favourite Spring woodland scenes which I’ve reprocessed, this one in Francis/King Regional Park, Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC...so lucky to live on one of the most beautiful places on earth!
Francis/King Regional park gets its name from the surnames of James Francis whose father purchased the property in the 1840s and his good friend Thomas (the Skipper) King. James Francis was a lover of nature, refusing to donate his land to the city of Victoria as well as declining monetary offers from others to log the land. Later on in his senior years, he was going to will his property to Thomas; however, Thomas convinced him that turning it over to the province for parkland was the best idea.( Source CRD.BC.ca)
