Sooke Potholes Provincial Park lies just north of Victoria BC. When driving into the park one definitely has the feeling of entering a wilder area. The morning we visited the park was rather drab and when we climbed out of the car it began raining and it didn't stop until we left. Mother Nature was trying to tell us something perhaps. As we stood watching the water rush through the gorge we decided the little detour was worth the trip. The biggest challenge of this particular day was keeping the camera dry.
The beautiful arbutus trees are only found within a few miles of the west coast. They are beautiful and the rain makes the bark even more distinctive.
Unto this wood I came
As to a nest;
Dreaming that sylvan peace
Offered the harrowed ease--
Nature a soft release
From men's unrest.
Thomas Hardy
