Whiffin Spit Photos from last week





















Whiffin Spit is a very nice place for walking and enjoying nature. Unfortunatly the lovely view across the way kinda takes away from the tranquility of it all(see photo). Its very sad to look out and see the development happening in East Sooke in this particular spot. This was not necessary. For the people who live in Sooke Whiffin Spit is one of the special places to go and take your dogs for walks and enjoy the outdoors

When we were on our walk, we reached the end of the spit and we were sitting and enjoying watching the seals play and listening to the birds and the ocean and then we started to hear machinery digging and crap and instead of looking across at the trees in East Sooke Park, you are looking at a big clearing where houses are going to be built. I don't like it...I just want the trees back. Why did they have to do this there...stooooopid. I know development is necessary but I don't think it should have happened here.

Whiffin Spit is what happens when you take a big whiff of something so horrible you can taste it; thus, proving necessary to spit that awful taste out.

Great pictures, Lindzy. That starfish was awesome.

That looks like a nice place to visit. I have a place not too far away that is much like that.

It is sad to see it being developed. That is happening more and more.
