Log on beach at Ross Bay. Been here since the last big storm about 70 years ago. Seas are much calmer now otherwise it would have been moved.
We drove to Swan Lake Nature Reserve and walked the floating bridge and back up to the Nature House.

I lied. Sunday I wrote:
"The climb up Little Mount Douglas was steeper than I remembered so I probably won't go up this way again. The north col Tod Trail is easier and safer."
Not entirely correct. I climbed it again Monday morning (two consecutive days). It was in my craw (corners of the mind) that the route I climbed up was not the one we used to use. I remembered seeing a young woman flitting over the rocks about 10m (40ft) to the right (east) of me on the way up. I just had to go back and take another look.
It's true. If one keeps east of the rough trail along the west edge -- the going is easier and safer. This is noticeable even from the top when users come down the south col (column). There just happened to be such a hiker when I got to the top; so, I was able to video record her virtually flitting down this dangerous slope.
So, here's the deal: When going up from Mercer Trail, at each opportunity, always choose the way that goes to the righthand (east) side. It's still a difficult climb but safer and more enjoyable. I will return here many times now that the best way up is known. For now though, I think I'll stick with comng down the North Col to Whittaker Trail for now.
Adendum:
Whittaker Trail is named after Samuel Whittaker who was a taxidermist for the BC Museum in Victoria BC c.1910 (photo p.206). Sam and Christina Irvine were married in 1883 and their first daughter, Elizabeth was born April 27, 1885 in Victoria. Lizzy married Wallace McMorran (of Cordova Bay) June 10, 1908 in Victoria. Wallace's brother, George, founded the famous, Cordova Bay Pavilion & Dance Hall -- which was the place to be Saturday night for several decades. Elizabeth's sister, Hazel Winnifred Gray (nee Whittaker) (1889-1957) was a wife, mother and poet. Her poems were published by Bill Irvine in 1992 in the eponymous publication, ISBN 0-9695935-0-3.

As an avid, recreational cyclist, I congratulate and thank Saanich Public Works for the new Ansell Road cycling connector at McKenzie Avenue. In conjunction with the new, controlled crosswalk and dedicated bike lane along Larchwood, it's my opinion the project could not have been designed nor implemented better. The workmanship is of the highest standards and reflects upon the skilled workers who completed it.
The new crossing will make life better and safer for those of us choosing to ride it
