Really nice conditions on Portage Inlet & the Gorge Waterway, today
I'm home & making some pho ga (chicken pho) now.
One of the #cannabis smoking areas at #CFBNaden. This one is near the CFSA docks.

Just a few steps, to reach the waters.

A winding trail, through forest, to a quiet beach spot.
A little #footpath that leads down to a nice beach spot, along the #GorgeWaterway.

I discovered this old, seaside walkway nestled in a small waterfront pocket park in Esquimalt, 20 years ago. The end of the walkway & rocky beach area has views of CFB Naden, which is beside the park. There's a fence/gate to block access to this concrete footpath now - I climbed around it. I've done many past photoshoots at this location with various models.

Enjoy my short #photos #slideshow of the #JapaneseGardens in Esquimalt Gorge Pavillion Park 
Stitched together 3 vid clips to show folks a bit more of the #JapaneseGardens at Esquimalt Gorge Pavillion Park. You can enjoy some of the gardens, vicariously 
Gorgeous blooms on a large & healthy Indian bean tree aka cigartree or Southern catalpa.
It prefers moist soil with full sun. It's easily raised from seeds which germinate early in the first season. It multiplies readily from cuttings. This tree is fairly free from fungal diseases & has few insect enemies. Which is why many landscapers love to add it.
The wood of these trees are brittle/hard, but doesn't rot easily; it's used for fence posts & railroad ties.

This #building features remarkable #JapaneseInspired #architecture to complement the scenic Japanese Gardens. The building boasts a stunning second floor banquet/reception hall with breathtaking cedar beams & panoramic views of the Gorge Waterway.
This is my fave #bench in Esquimalt Gorge Park. I've enjoyed many books & eaten several lunches, at this spot. It's tucked away, off the main loop around the Japanese gardens & it's a really nice shady resting space. I adore all the ferns & trees that hug this rest stop.

#Seaside #footpath with gorgeous ocean views.
From our walk around Saxe Point, yesterday. We loved the giant #ferns at the seaside #park.
Decades back, I used to rent a house on Wychbury St, just a few blocks from this municipal park. It's close to CFB Naden, in #Esquimalt.
I'm wearing the sequin tank top & the AnarchoSocialist hat that I made for myself, last week.
