Later That Day. . .

We went to East Sooke Regional Park and took a walk to the beach.

It tried to rain on us, but it stopped as soon as we hid under a tree.

I stood on a log.


Chunlin hid under a tree.


The waves came in.

Look, you can see America!

After a lunch of chowder and pad thai in the only non-chain restaurant we could find in Sooke, we headed down to Whiffen Spit for another walk on the beach. The sun had truly come out.


There were quite a few wildlife watchers and photographers, but very few animals. Just a few birds, the most common being the seagull. And a few of these little guys, who I'm not nearly the ornithologist to name.


A bench was nice enough to take this photo for us.


And then we went up the Sooke River to the Sooke Potholes, which are supposed to be a great place for a swim or just a suntan.

Um. . . Not even I would go swimming with *that* much snow around.
