Field Chickweed With Dead Wood
This is another one of those flowers that apparently grows everywhere that I have never seen before. It's quite nice how it mats. Again, I figured this was an escaped garden plant.
Yellow Monkeyflowers
These flowers were only found here - where water slowly ran over the rocks to the ocean. Of course that is perfect Monkeyflower habitat.
Brittle Prickly-Pear Cactus On Bluff
I had not idea these showed up in the Gulf Islands, but Plants of Coastal British Columbia confirms it. I figured this was a run away garden plant in zone denial.
Nara Digging Out Fossil
The beach is mostly flat shale. In some places you will see the shale bend into a mound over an encapsulated blob. That blob is your fossil.
