Seven of us braved the rainy weather for about a 5 Km walk down through Brentwood College and back. Actually we started by trying Tim Hortons, which was full. So we whipped over to McDonalds, had a coffee to wait out the rain, then did our walk and finished with a second coffee break at Tim Hortons. Good planning as it turned out nicely.
Had to wait for the rain to stop - so coffee at McDonalds. |

The grounds are very well kept. |
These signs are on all streets in Brentwood. |
Lots of greenery. |

And what do we find but a painting of an owl on a rock. |
More artwork. |
Looking a way up there is an eagle surveying his kingdom. |
What does this piece of artwork convey?? |
This photo does not really show the difference in lighting when looking over in this direction. |
A beautiful walkway above the water. |

Down where the salmon are caught. |
This guy has just netted a salmon which will be sent up to Shawnigan Creek along with about 100 others that are in the enclosure. |
The water fall at the bottom - the salmon cannot get up on their own. |
Climbing back up the approximately 100 stair steps. |
The Mill Bay Masonic Lodge. |
Back to Tim Hortons for our 2nd coffee of the morning. |
