The popular Campbell River tourist attraction that will the subject of my next post is about three kilometres from home, of which about two follow the Seawalk<\/a>. While it was a bit nippy out, hovering between 0 and +1 with the odd flurry, there was no threat of rain, so I decided this was the perfect afternoon for a six kilometre stroll that would allow me to photograph some of the things that I’ve only glanced at while zipping by in a car.<\/p>\n

Post edited to add onto Donna’s comment about the parrot tree. It is an arbutus tree<\/a> (Arbutus menziesii<\/em>), Canada’s only broad-leaf evergreen. It is also known as the ‘strawberry tree’ and ‘Pacific Madrone.’ Thanks for the heads up, Donna!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
