After our big February snow last year, spring came in swiftly as it does on this wet, west coast. Here are some photos of highlights from Spring 2017:

From snow to snowdrops, an early sign of spring.

Lots of spring-time walks, urban, rural. This one with J in some lovely woodland in Royal Oak.

The city comes alive with cherry and plum blossoms from late February until early April. This beautiful tree is in the Gardens at Government House.

Continued love affair with our beautiful neighbourhood.

In May, dear friends visit from Colorado.

Made time for a treat at my favourite coffee establishments. Hey Happy on Johnson Street (left), and Hide + Seek on Oak Bay Avenue.

As always, we spend time with the cats! Miss Bunny Drummond really loves GJ.

One of my favourite designers opened a new shop on Johnson Street in June. No stranger to Victoria, John Fluevog opened an early store here in 1972. I’m happy he’s back!
