By about 3pm we were seriously flowered out, but there was a few hours to kill
before dinner, so we decided to drive around Vancouver Island a bit. We took
highway 14 westward out of Victoria towards the small town of Sooke, figuring that would be a good way
to catch a glimpse of Olympic National Park in Washington state, across the
Strait of Juan de Fuca, and we were not disappointed. There were wild
blackberries growing alongside the road, so we stopped for pictures and a mid
afternoon berry snack. Later, we drove towards some sort of park across the
bay in East Sooke, sniffed around a housing development, took some more photos,
and drove back to Victoria to sight-see there.
