When we were in Beacon Hill Park on New Year's Day we got to pass on greetings to our favourite bridge troll. He looks grumpy until you get to know him, but he's actually quite shy.

Celebrating Earth Day with Henry David Thoreau
Thank you for joining me in Celebrating Earth Day 2025!
Earth Day serves as a platform to educate people about environmental issues, promoting awareness of topics such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This year’s theme, OUR POWER, OUR PLANET, urges us all to unite in the pursuit of renewable energy. As we face the pressing challenges of climate change, it’s crucial to respond to the call to action.
Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, British Columbia Walden Earth Day 2025Each year on Earth Day, I read from Henry David Thoreau’s famous work, Walden. My copy of Walden was a gift from my father which allows me to celebrate Earth Day by remembering our “Walden” conversations from years past. Dad agreed with Thoreau’s insights on living within our world: the importance of simplicity, self-sufficiency, and a deep appreciation for the natural environment that surrounds us. The changing seasons, the sounds of the forest, and the rhythms of life serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things.

Thoreau’s words encourage us to reflect on our relationship with nature and to embrace a lifestyle that harmonizes with the beauty and tranquility of the world. When we slow down and appreciate the small wonders of life, we begin to understand the vital role that nature plays in our well-being.
In this age of rapid change and growing environmental challenges, Thoreau’s words resonate even more. They inspire us to seek solace, clarity, and purpose in nature, reminding us that our survival is intrinsically linked to the health of the planet.
By recognizing Earth Day, we acknowledge the importance of preserving our planet for future generations and affirm our commitment to nurturing the Earth.
Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, British Columbia“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

“Down deep we all hug something. The great forest hugs its silence. The sea and the air hug the spilled cries of sea-birds. The forest hugs only silence; its birds and even its beasts are mute.

On the Ferry from Vancouver to Victoria, British Columbia
I am travelling via BC Ferries from Vancouver (Tsawwassen) to Victoria (Swartz Bay) on a cool day with overhead clouds and a stiff breeze. Being a passenger on BC Ferries is an adventure! From the moment I step on board, I am embarking on a journey filled with breathtaking views, fresh sea air, and the excitement of exploration. The diverse routes offered by BC Ferries provide travelers with a unique and unforgettable experience, connecting coastal communities and offering a glimpse of the stunning natural landscapes that British Columbia has to offer.

BC Ferries is not just a transportation provider; it is also an advocate for the coastal environment and the communities it serves.

These routes provide essential transportation links for both passengers and vehicles, contributing to the connectivity and accessibility of the region.

Exploring Beacon Hill Park: A Tribute to Emily Carr
My visit to Victoria is to connect with the spirit of Emily Carr. Beacon Hill Park is the perfect setting to connect with the natural landscapes that inspired her art,
Beacon Hill Park, Victoria British Columbia in SpringBeacon Hill Park, with its lush greenery, vibrant flora, and tranquil ponds, serves as a fitting setting to connect with the spirit of Emily Carr. This iconic park not only provides a delightful respite but also echoes the very essence of the natural landscapes that Emily Carr so passionately depicted in her artwork. From majestic totem poles to the captivating presence of local wildlife, Beacon Hill Park offers a glimpse into the essence of British Columbia’s natural wonders.
“I think that one’s art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.”
Emily Carr

During an evening bike ride on the Beacon Hill Park multi-use pathway we saw quite a few wildflowers. Check out this field of Camas and a happy Bumble bee near Dallas Rd in Victoria, BC.
