We headed out to the woods today with the dogs for a little get-away. The ferns in this little patch of forest were astounding.
This is a park at Shawnigan Lake with old growth cedars and a shore where the dogs can swim. They had a great time running around playing with sticks. And we enjoyed a
leisurely lunch in a little out-of-the way restaurant in a converted
church nearby.
On the way back we shopped for another tree for the front yard--a father's day gift that will just keep on giving. I'm looking for a Cornus Florida Rubra, otherwise known as Pink Dogwood, to fill an empty spot in the front yard. This little flower was plucked from a lovely specimen in front of Home Depot, however sadly they didn't have any for sale. Now the search is on. I do hope that we can find one somewhere to plant this year. Isn't that the prettiest pink?

ReplyDeleteThe fern photo is just Beautiful.
I am so glad your dog likes small sticks, so much easier to carry.
That is a wonderful photo.
cheers, parsnip
What a lovely walk through the woods. The greens are so vivid.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your dogwood. I saw some small white ones blooming the other day and on one branch were three pink blossoms. I was left with a mystery.
I love that photo of your dog with a stick. It's cute.
