Shelly Creek Adventures in Nature

SHELLY CREEK ADVENTURES IN NATURE

I love to hike in Shelly Creek ravine close to my home. It is peaceful and quiet even though there is a major highway and city nearby. A few steps from the concrete city and you are immersed in the deep forest ravine of Shelly Creek. The air is fresh and the ground is soft for a lovely hike in the woods. Go play outside.

Shelly Creek has a large volume of water that flows down to the ocean in the winter. During the summer months the creek disappears underground for most of the summer. Because of this there are only a few areas that pool with enough water for fish habitat.

Many interesting plants and fungi grow in the creek area. Maidenhair ferns (Adiatum aleuticum) are very green and pretty. They are found very close to the creek which would indicate the need for moisture.

Throughout the ravine are remnants of the old mountain bike trails. The above bike jump is situated very high above the ravine. Some of the jumps have been repaired in the last year but they still need some work before they are usable. It would have be great to watch the riders use these jumps and get some air time!

Shelly Creek adventures in nature would be no fun without a canine companion. Russell is always in the creek when the weather is hot or when it is not!

In conclusion I hope you find your little local nature hide away and enjoy the healthy benefits of Mother Nature.

This is a true nature experience on the edge of the Pacific rainforest.
I hope to make it back here real soon! 🙂

Lots of beach time at Florencia Bay located in the Pacific Rim National Park. The surf is best in the winter months but gentle waves are present in all seasons. Always check the conditions before heading out for a surf session.

Grand Julian fractal

This Grand Julian fractal was created using Apophysis software. It is a very easy program to use and it creates very complex fractal art. I am very grateful to the creators of this software and I look forward to creating more beautiful fractals for you to see.

Wickaninnish beach Pacific Rim National Park is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island in Canada. A favorite place of mine to unwind and chill for awhile.

Only one of many spectacular beaches in the park, this beach seems endless and is a great walk to take if you like to be out on soft sand for hours at a time.

There are many activities like surfing, paddle-boarding and kayaking that are perfect at this beach between chill times of course. Enjoy some beach time today!
