back to nature

Here are a few more from our time on Vancouver Island.  Most of the photos were taken at an estuary by the ocean.  The Seagulls were feeding on herrings by the ocean and despite the wind and coldness, it was a very cool spot to check out. 
The signs warning of a tsunami, along with the Japanese flag hanging below the Canadian Flag that we saw from the beach had me thinking about all the people who have lost their homes in Japan.  I've been reading Euan the Potter's blog- he's an amazing writer, potter and father of 4 kids who's home and studio has been destroyed by the Earthquake.  It's heart-breaking to read about how the radiation levels have made it so that his family will have to re-locate.
