I first went to Sandcut Beach last year around the same time of year and have been wanting to go back ever since. This is an very beautiful location that does not get much traffic which makes it perfect to relax or in my case get some nice photos without any distractions.
I arrived to the beach shortly after sunrise and was welcomed by a tantalizing golden light that only lasted a few minutes.
After taking in the lovely sunrise I continued down to the twin falls that empty onto the beach from Sandcut Creek. When I was last here there was a pretty substantial channel through the sand and gravel that lead to the ocean but this has since disappeared. The falls now just dissipate into the porous gravel beach.

This weekend we had a short break in the usual west coast winter rain in place for some very welcome sunshine. I decided to make a trip out past Sooke and explore the area around Jordan River. Just outside of Jordan River I decided to go and investigate a nice looking beach and I ran into a small group of surfers enjoying the rare sunny day.

It has been raining here, a lot. Finally it managed to clear up for a little bit and I went for a walk down to Cattle point with the hopes of find some river otters to take photos of. I didn’t find any otters as it seems every one was out enjoying the brief pause in the rain. I am hoping the weather dries up a bit and I can find some otters soon!

On Saturday evening I was down at Esquimalt Lagoon to take in the sunset since the past few days we have had some nice pink/purple skies. Initially it looked like it was going to be a fairly sedate sunset but then in the last 10 minutes of daylight it managed to turn a nice pink hue. I was really hoping to get some different angles but was very limited if I wanted to include the sunset (I did), take what you can get I guess.

Last weekend I managed to drag my self out of bed in time to take in the sunrise at Cattle point. I have shot sunrise here once before. This past week or so has made up for the terribly wet November we had with stunning sunshine, albeit very cold.
