Look closer

A new destination offers so many new sights for the eyes to delight in. Unsurprisingly, the west coast of Canada is no different, and has stunningly beautiful landscapes in all directions: soaring trees dripping with moss, imposing granite peaks, and vast stretches of ocean extending off into the horizon (or entirely obscured in fog), and if you look a little bit closer, there are so many incredible textures and colours to get lost in...

Fossilized rocks.

Golden ochre sea weeds and cream barnacles.

Some sort of ewwy, awesome, slimy sea worts on a rock. Anyone know what these are? 

Burrows etched through layers of tree rings.

The play of the tide on the sand.

Water crystals and droplets on feather.

Life lines in wood.

Sun- and salt-parched sea plant.

A massive outcropping on the beach, about to be enveloped in fog.

Damp lichen in all its chartreuse glory.

Vibrant plums in the Okanagan, ready to bite into!
