#ThrowbackThursday
2016.
When I lived in #Youbou - one block from #LakeCowichan & the area was totally flooded for a few days. This #dock access had its whole boardwalk go underwater.

Summer 2016; I was living in #Youbou - South #Cowichan - #LakeCowichan was steps from backyard. Orange skies & smoky air from #wildfires on #VancouverIsland & #BritishColumbia mainland.

2023's worst so far. 2017/2018 was scary too. #BCNDP #BCgovernment & #GovernmentOfCanada & their #ecocide pals fueled growing wildfires(& the floods to follow).

Welp. I took a 240km detour, 100km on a logging road, around #cameronlakefire to get home to #PortAlberni #BCWildfire but I met two new very tall friends! #CameronBluffs #Elk #RooseveltElk #Youbou

Here's a younger #bull #elk - from my past homesteading life, in #Youbou on the shores of #LakeCowichan

You can hear me tell trespassers to stay out of my yard. They ignored my no trespassing sign & lifted rope gate to try to get closer to the elk. Not cool on both fronts. Don't try getting close & respect wildlife with distance. These elk can easily maim/kill humans if spooked & feel threatened. Leave them alone!
