Ant Nest on Vancouver Island
I'm a self admitted science/biology geek. I came across this huge ant nest up near Nanaimo Lakes and filmed a bit of it, the quality isn't great but I still think the nest is amazing!

Though I usually tend to stick to more positive and neutral issue here on this blog, I have to bring this into the limelight as it is something that sickens me to the core. A fight is a fight, but when you are yelling racial slurs and you are attacking someone 3 on 1, it becomes very concerning.
We need to learn to love each other, that is that. On a side note, I don't believe this is a common occurence in the Comox Valley and the accused aren't thought to be white supremacists.
