Walking around one cloudy, windy morning, I found a new city park in a new corner of Victoria. My wandering habits have served me well thus far and once again they led me somewhere worthwhile.

Victoria has truly embraced spring- buds drip off of branches, and flora everywhere is already sprouting rich colorful blooms. My allergies have yet to hit but when they do it’ll be a doozy- there is simply too much pollen-centric life here for there to not be misery on my part. Regardless, visually, spring here has been breathtaking, and it’s only early February.
