Pacific Ocean & Vancouver Island

Stellar Jays

More today from Ucluelet but moving from ocean up to the air.  We do not have Stellar Jays on the prairies so I considered myself lucky to have these beautiful birds visiting where we were staying.  They are similar in size and shape to our own Blue Jays but their colouring is exquisite.

Enjoy!

Stellar Sea Lions

Stellar Sea Lions were just one of the highlights of a recent trip to Ucluelet on Vancouver Island.  Ucluelet is south of Tofino on the Pacific Rim.   It was great fun watching the sea lions swimming around, chasing the fishing boats looking for handouts, sitting on the dock and floating in the water with flippers up in the air. This group was close to the cabin we were in and we could hear them “barking” throughout the night.

Enjoy!

Sandstone Formations

Sandstone is easily eroded as shown in these photos taken on Galliano Island.  The wave action from the ocean creates pock marks on the rocks and eventually smooths and hollows them out.  I found these rock formations really interesting. Sea stars and sea cucumbers where hiding in damp shadowy crevices of these rocks.
