We don't have many reptiles on Vancouver Island so it is always interesting to see one, especially one I've not encountered before. I believe the little lizard pictured above is a Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus), probably the sub-species known as Skilton's Skink. I saw this one very near to the summit of Mount Douglas when I went there after photographing this week's mushrooms in the wetter lower reaches of the park.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.
