Flemming Beach

Recently, Flemming Beach has become one of our new favourite places to go for a dog walk. There are old military bunkers there, and you get a nice view of Colwood and Esquimalt Lagoon in one direction - and downtown (and the cruise ship terminal) in the other direction. It is a pretty neat place to explore.

Here you are doing some strange Tae Chi type moves. We really don't know what you are doing when you do this, but you do it every once and a while.
There is a part of the walk where we pass by some steep coastal type area. It is easier on our (my) nerves to give you a shoulder ride so you don't go tumbling down to the rocks and ocean below. Lots of planes and helicopters fly overhead here - so its a pretty good seat for you!
From the point you get a great view of the cruise ships docking. The picture doesn't do the size of the ship justice. When we get lucky enough to see one docking or leaving it comes really close to the park and you go on about how "huuuge!" it is. Dad taught you that.
Then the trail goes into the military/bunker type area. There are all kinds of secret nooks and crannys to explore even though most of the windows and doors are locked up or have bars over them.

Bars that are great for climbing, of course...

There is a fun tunnel that leads up to the main lookout area - it has a great echo.

At the top of the military lookout point there is this structure on the side that you and Dad climb out on to for fun and to freak me out. Here's Daddy saying "Wave to Mama..." - way down there on the GROUND!
