Attack of the Giant Cephalopod

Cthulhu emerges...

On the beach at Port Renfrew sits this piece of driftwood looking vaguely like a giant octopus with its tentacle-like roots.

Saanich Inlet and the Malahat mountain...

Brentwood Bay is a cute little village on Saanich Inlet. It has magnificent views of the Malahat mountain on the other side of the saltwater inlet. We periodically like to enjoy a meal on the outdoor patio of a favourite restaurant, Seahorses Cafe.
