The rugged cliffs of Rosario Head.
This is great time to enjoy the coastal wildflowers and the rugged coastline at Rosario Head. Some of the flowers in bloom include large Wild Roses, Thimble Berry blooms, red and orange Paintbrush, yellow and white Daisies, Cascade Stonecrop, Salal, Blue Buttons, Vetch, and Beach Pea Vine. The views are great as well. We also discovered that you can hike the entire circumferance of the Lighthouse Point island.

Pink Tufts

The pink tufts on the tree are most likely gall adelgids, which cause an infection. There are many different species of adelgids that produce different gales on different spruce species. Source: Wikipedia.
