A fish boat seems to be catching a few extra winks this morning.

There are lots of rapids like this and some superb waterfalls within Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park near Cameron Lake (named after a well known Westie) on central Vancouver Island.

I think part of the draw of the west coast is the never-ending sound the waves make as they relentlessly march up and across the sand and gravel beaches. When you take the first ferry from Vesuvius to Vancouver Island, you can be reading your book—in the sunshine at coffee time—on this beach. And I saw a couple doing just that. I took a few photos and left them—with the beach and this gorgeous spring weather—to themselves.
