Another Woods Walk
Path
Coriander came to Fancis/King Park near Victoria with me. One of it’s many trails is wide, flat, and has a low grade designed for push chairs, wheelchairs and people with mobility issues…

boardwalk
…there are nice boardwalks over the soggy areas (very soggy after all the recent rain!)…
.
.
.
Douglas Fir
…and the path wends around and through and close enough to some of the magnificent old trees that you can touch the bark…
.
.
.
moss
…and their mossy veils.

.
Indigenous Harvest
Some informative signs explain how First Nations people can sustainably harvest bark from the cedar trees…
.
.
Rain
…and we stopped here to reflect on the wonderfulness of the rain, which keeps this beautiful temperate rainforest alive…

Lucky
…we are so lucky to be able to walk here.

Oh, so beautiful! What a treasure!
It is a lovely little park, and not too far from the Quimper Hitty cupboard!
Oh. That. Moss. 😍😍😍
So many beautiful kinds of moss! And so lush just now at the (hopefully) tail end of the rainy season!
What a magnificent place! Thank you so much for sharing your visit!
You are very welcome – we are really lucky to be able to enjoy these beautiful places – they are a real balm in stressful times.
what a beautiful park and that is my kind of path!! Coriander looks adorable as usual.
Thanks! We love exploring around here, there seems to always be something new to see.
That looks a lovely place and how brilliant that there are paths allowing everyone to enjoy it not just those who are able to walk easily.
I really appreciate that about this park!
I lived for many years in the Pacific NW and I kind of miss the moss! I enjoyed the foliage along the path images you shared 🙂
The luxurious moss is so evocative of the old growth forests, we really appreciate these parks for preserving the ecosystems and in this making it available for people with mobility issues. If you like moss especially, have a look at some of the Haida Gwaii posts!
