These deer didn’t mind the dustman doing his job right beside them this morning.

Decided to drive to Port Renfrew this morning. Cloudy but dry but did revert to wearing my thermal vest and donning a jumper as well as my fleece. Had driven this road before but had forgotten how long it seemed and how windy it was. So glad to reach Port Renfrew and have a coffee before moving on to Botanical Beach. Lovely walk from the car park to the coast and back.

Nice to see some Harlequin ducks and a seal.

Wonderful old trees.

and this Stellar Jay

Rain started as we headed back to the parking lot. Quite heavy by the time we reached a cafe to have lunch and kept on all afternoon.

Glad there was a petrol station in Port Renfrew as we only had a quarter of a tank of petrol left and it seemed a long way.

Nice to get back, have a shower and sit by the fire.
