Sooke is a municipality on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Canada, 38 kilometres by road from Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. We stayed at a place with a view of the coastline, layered hills and often rich sky with interesting weather. We found that Sooke had interesting art displays, restaurants and and a place that made mead. There was also a rather good small museum and book shop.
This Horned Lark stopped to have her photograph taken. She was busy exploring the ground for her evening meal.
The Horned Lark is the only lark native to North America.
This photograph was taken in Sooke, BC, Canada

Apologies for being behind but have been away and off again so will catch up as I can. Now that the tourists are gone we will camp till the rains come.
We had a fine stay at Sooke, Vancouver Island, Canada. This day had grand clouds and it was a great day for sailing. So I imagined sailing in a wooden dory with a tanbark spritsail. I have never owned a dory, but I have used a spritsail on my sail canoe. The sprit holds up the top of the sail and is fastened to the mast by a snotter. The rig can easily be taken down and stowed in a small space. This image combines the Sooke seascape with a sailing dory photo I took at Port Townsend .

Merci énormément pour vos commentaires, ils sont toujours très appréciés et merci pour votre loyauté, car je ne suis vraiment pas gâté coté internet et électricité ces jours-ci...
Enfin, l'électricité est revenue hier et l'internet aujourd'hui. Je peux enfin partager certaines des meilleures images et Lifers de ce voyage. Voici ce fabuleux Pic à poitrine rouge qui était sur ma Wish List.
Je ne suis pas parvenu à trouver ce superbe mâle seul, c'était ma toute dernière journée sur L'Île de Vancouver. En cette fin d'après-midi avant le grand Road Trip vers l'est du Canada. Comme pour plusieurs de mes trophées photographiques que j'ai ramené de l'île de Vancouver c'est avant tout grâce à ma merveilleuse guide et amie qui l'a finalement déniché après mainte et mainte recherche de sa part avec moi durant mon court séjour. Le voici donc ce fabuleux Pic.
Je ne remercierai jamais assez mon amie pour sa grande persévérance et dévotion lors de mon séjour. Merci beaucoup.
Sooke, British Columbia, Canada.
Lifer (Highly Wanted on my wish list)
Thank you very much for your comments, they are always very much appreciated and thank you for your loyalty, because I am really not spoiled when it comes to internet and electricity these days...
Finally, the electricity came back yesterday after 6 days and the internet today. I can finally share some of the best finds and Lifers like this fabulous Red-breasted Sapsucker that was on my Wish List on that trip.
I did not find this superb male alone, it was my very last day on Vancouver Island, by the end of the afternoon before the big road trip to Eastern Canada. Like many of my trophies pictures of Vancouver Island it's my wonderful guide and friend who finally unearthed it for me after many and many searches on her part with me during my short stay. So here it is this fabulous Sapsucker.
I cannot thank my friend enough for her great perseverance and devotion during my stay. Thanks a lot.

Wandering around the Sooke area on Vancouver Island was a lot of fun. So many gorgeous views. I posted a new video on YouTube with some of the highlights. Hope you enjoy watching my photo exploring!
