A spring day in May 2025.

The ladies invited me to join them for a lovely 2 hour walk in the serene urban forest of Hemer Provincial Park in Nanaimo, B.C.
Naturally, I hung back and took the pictures to document our day.

The trails are breathtakingly beautiful. From water to forest, to ferns, moss, and flowers – this park really provides ‘forest bathing’ if that is what you are after. It is quiet and serene. This 2 hour walk will make you forget you are so close to civilization.

I love how the water reflects the trees and flowering Iris.
