A few years ago I surprised my friend with a birthday gift: a weekend stay at Point No Point Resort near Sooke, Vancouver Island.  We stayed in a lovely rustic cabin on the cliff; arriving in the dark, we had to wait until morning to see the view.  We were not disappointed.  Overnight there was a late spring snowfall and we awoke to a fairyland of white trees and trails.  This image is taken from our cabin deck looking out over the Juan de Fuca Strait.  There really are islands out there in the mist!
