Sooke Pothole Provincial Park

I went to the Sooke River to swim in the clear water.

I heard salmon also go to the river to swim in fall.

 I wonder how they go upstream on the river?

That must be a hard work because there were many waterfalls and pools on this river and they don't have legs unlike me.

I couldn't believe that the pools were naturally carved into the river's bedrock during the last ice age, 15,000 years ago!

Anyway, I felt so nice!

Pike Point in East Sooke Regional Park

I swam with pretty good feeling after the hiking in the forest for a half hour.

I felt able to swim to that Olympic mountains in the US now.

Swimming everyday increased my muscle growth?!

MacAulay Point

Here is the park I go almost everyday.

We dogs can enjoy here freely now, but I heard here was military ramparts.

We can play on the bunkers, lookouts and defensive berms peacefully.

I hope all military bases in the world will change to parks like here!

Swimming at McKenzie Bight

There is nothing better than swimming under the sun!

Sun rise from Mt.Douglas

I went to Mt.Douglas to see the sun rise.
I didn't have nothing to say in the moment of rising the sun.
I could feel that my body got warmer and warmer.
I couldn't believe a miracle like this happens every day.

Finally, the sun had risen in this island, west end of North America.
And then, the sun across the Pacific Ocean, Asia, Europe...
I realized that we live on the Earth.

Drive out along the beach

I'm out driving with mummy & a friend of us from Japan.

I made a friend with her soon.

I like her because she's very kindly (and gave me many dried small sardines).

We gonna have a nice drive in the seaside today!

She & my parents went to whale watching with a boat like that yesterday.

I heard they watched some killer whale family very close!  I wanted to watch them! 

I don't know why I had to be home alone.

But I'm happy to be with them today.

Follow me ladies?

French Beach

I'm at French Beach in Sooke for the first time.

What a beautiful long beach here!

I feel differences of the soil, water, and creatures living here.

Oops!  Waves level is also different!

conflicted feeling

 Is it OK to swim for chasing these birds?

Thetis Lake

 Finally, daddy also can't stop swimming!

McAulay Point

Daddy got  a new camera lends.  He must take me pictures better.

 Still today is very hot.  On a hot summer day like this...

Swimming sure hit the spot!

Mummy is calling me, but I just don't want to go home.

I'm trying to be here until mummy starts to get angry.
