Barnyard animals and Wiildlife

A cute chick from the Salt Spring Cheese Farm - attended their open house and got to see their farm animals!












Cute little lambs from the same farm!














Can anyone tell me what kind of bird that is? Perhaps a Blue Heron?? Picture taken from Duck Creek Park, on Salt Spring Island.









Well, my trip to Salt Spring wasn't super sunny. In fact it was rainy, but it was fun! The rain didn't deter us from hiking and visiting some "must-see" spots! The island is a little more pricey than I thought it would be - tourist prices - but I suppose, aside from the hobby farms, the majority of the island's economy is generated via tourism. There are small farms, two vineyards, 2 cheese farms, and many arts and crafts places, as well as several parks that are worth visiting.
A positive experience despite stepping into sheep doodoo, and then getting some of it on my pants! :-)
