Highrock Park

I live quite close to this little park. It's the highest point of land in Esquimalt and offers good views overlooking Victoria and Esquimalt. And although it is well used by local citizens and their dogs, it continues to be a lush and fairly natural enclave of Garry Oak Ecosystem. At various times in the spring the slopes are richly carpeted with brilliant blue Camas Lilies and equally brilliant pink Sea Blush and many other wildflowers (such as the Satinflowers I posted a few days ago) are to be seen in season. One of the pleasures of living in Victoria is the presence of many small parks like this. Fern and I discover new ones every year, each with its own character.
