Isn’t this gnarly Arbutus stunning? It’s red bark stands out against the cool green water of an ocean cove. #arbutus, #ocean #sea #oceancove, #arbutustree #arbutustrees #arbutustreesarebeautiful #redtrunk #redarbutus #redarbutustree, #gnarly #gnarlytree #gnarlytrees #gnarlytreetrunk https://www.instagram.com/p/CTtJlvVFZ5O/?utm_medium=tumblr

** Smuggler Cove, BC ** These peculiar trees dotted around the coastal areas of the far Canadian Pacific aren't shedding their bark because they're sick, they are the only natihe broadleaf evergreens in Canada, the Arbutus Menziesii. The Arbutus occur only in exposed sites along British Columbia's Southern Pacific coast, it's a rare treat to find one! Every summer, the thin, reddish brown bark of arbutus trees splits and curls and falls off to reveal the baby smooth wood underneath. This hike really offers so much for a new visitor to Canada, the life in this forest is diverse, evolutionary and spectacular to learn about. #arbutus #arbutustrees #britishcolumbia #canada #bc #roundtheworldmagazine #hiking #rainforest #smugglercove #provincialpark #splendor #trees #nature (at Smuggler Cove Marine Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaddQzmsJ_E/?utm_medium=tumblr

The trees with the distinctive red bark are common near coastal areas. #arbutus #arbutustree #arbutustrees #beach #coast #westcoast #westcoastarbutus #vancouverisland #vancouverislandbc #redbark https://www.instagram.com/p/CSYWZWKr0cG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Winter Solstice in Roberts Creek

Greetings to you all on a dark winter’s evening from a small cabin in Roberts Creek.

As the pandemic continues to worsen all around us I decided to take a few days out of the city back up to the Sunshine Coast for fresh sea air, clear skies and a chance to celebrate the Winter Solstice with a blazing log fire on the beach.

The weather has not been great but the clouds cleared enough to provide me with a wonderful crescent moon on Thursday evening.

It’s been great having a place to myself and cooking up lovely brunches with the free range eggs provided by the owners of the BnB

Today we went for a socially distanced hike in Francis Point Provincial Park, finding a wonderful grove of Arbutus trees, dancing on the edge of the cliffs!

It’s amazing how the branches of some of the trees look like human limbs, comparable to well muscled arms or legs.
