Victoria, French Beach Park

Tim and I planned to go skiing this day; however, when we learned that it took 3- 3.5 hours to drive there we decided against it and created our own adventures. We drove along the western coast to enjoy the water, beaches, and amazing topography of Vancouver Island.

Around lunch time, we stopped at French Beach Park and ate lunch. Two weeks before our wedding, there were hurricane force winds that visited this area bringing more larger pieces of drift wood. It was absolutely beautiful! Tim loved monkeying around on this piece.

For those of you that don't know me well, I love photography and I love to take photos with my tripod often referred to as Mr. Tripod. The excitement of using his services is trying to make it in the photos. Capturing settings in Nature can be a bit more tricky...

Unfortunately I didn't run fast enough on these loose rocks and pebbles. However, if at first you don't succeed...try, try again.

Instead of climbing...I decided to sit on the branch, of which I barely made it on the limb. We had so much fun climbing and monkeying around here. (NOTE: I am in my sky bib because of our change of plans in the car, not because it is comfortable...even though it did keep me warmer.)
