Yesterday Marije and I just had to get away from the house again, so we drove into the mountains of Strathcona Provincial Park where we hiked the Helen McKenzie Loop. It was foggy but dry when we started out from the car but in minutes the first rain started falling, and it did not stop until we returned to our vehicle 3 hours later.
No matter, Vancouver Island needs all the rain it can get, and we loved how it made everything look wet and green:
