I always think I need to go far into the wilderness to get great nature photos. Part of an afternoon at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria reminded me that I don't.
Beacon Hill sits between downtown Victoria and the cliffs that face Juan de Fuca Strait. Well-used by residents, the 81 hectare (200 acre) park sports a diverse population of creatures that tolerate urban conditions.
Besides these commonly seen denizens, hawks and owls lurk in the tree tops and a heron rookery survives despite annual attacks on their eggs and chicks by bald eagles.
This successful outing reminded me that nature is right outside my door. I just need to make time to get out there — and bring my camera.

The shot of the duck is sick!
And by sick I hope you mean great. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I was really pleased with that shot. The yellow reflecting on the water was from how golden the late afternoon light became.
Amazing, huh?
