Feeling Completely Blogless

These pictures were all taken yesterday.


Overlooking Oak Bay Marina


The next three pictures are overlooking the Oak Bay Golf Course.



Finally, spring has arrived. The world is once again right. Cold and miserable in the East. Nice and warm with spring flowers popping up everywhere here on the West Coast. Now, this is the kind of weather I moved here for! None of that white stuff we had earlier.

Salt in wounds. We're about ready for get another storm here. I think I'm going to go tobogganing in the Starbucks parking lots. Awoo.

Lovely pictures though, as always.

What's that green stuff on the ground where the snow should be?

Lovely pictures. And you have flowers? The legends of that place are true.

Allison, I've turned into a true Victorian bragging about our flowers in February when everyone else is six feet under. Hope you were able to get in a fe good toboggan runs.

Barbara, flowers in February are fantastic! I hear Ontario is bracing for a storm hope it's not too bad.

Barbara B, I have turned into one of those annoying British Columbians showing off our green knowing full well my friends to the east are suffering through Old Man Winter!

Mellowlee, thanks. I took the idea from your recent post of posting pictures of your walk.

Leazwell, I figure I did my years in the brutal cold winters and I do not miss it in the least. I hope you can get here sometime. It really is beautiful. Although, your pictures do your state proud.

Deb, I always enjoy seeing your pictures as well. I remember one picture of yours and I am sure I have driven by that gate.

Justacoolcat, when I saw pictures I was pleasantly surprised. The camera played up the mauve where so often it seems that I can't quite capture what I see.

Yesterday I almost didn't drive to work because of the whiteouts and drifting snow. NY got 12'2" in one week. Glad someone can enjoy this time of year. Ha.

Nice pictures. Keep taking them.

Wayward Son, summer my favorite. Unfortunately Victoria usually has one month of pouring rain during the summer.

The first few are very atmospheric :]

Dogga, not quite as cool as your shots in England but for now they'll have to do.
