Rainbow trout feast in the Sayward Forest

Rainbow trout

I caught this rainbow trout two years ago on Beavertail Lake in the Sayward Forest.

After I netted it, Blanche and I paddled to a small island where we cooked the fish and ate it. Yummy!

You can find Beavertail Lake south of the Sayward Forest Canoe Circuit. See Google map for Beavertail Lake location.

Calypso Orchids and Chocolate Lilies

Calypso orchid

The calypso orchids and chocolate lilies are blooming on Vancouver Island.

These ones were seen today (May 06) on the north shore of Comox Lake.

Wild orchids and lilies are extremely fragile. They do not transplant. In fact, the simple act of picking the flower will kill the plant. Do not handle.
