I don't know the name of these blooms but they seem to grow wild all over here.
This is half of a staircase that runs from my street, down the hill to Beach Street. I usually try to go down it but not up it.
These are Rhododendrons which also grow wild; not just here but all over British Columbia. I've seen bushes covered in blooms that were eight feet high.
I sat for a bit on a bench near the water and just looked out over the ocean to the islands. It's just so peaceful.
Here comes the ferry!
We have a very busy working harbour. Besides all of the boats on their way to Alaska, we have lots of fishing boats here too.
