Bells in hues of blue, purple, pink and white, along with the native camas, have created carpets of purple around the city for the last few weeks. Spring is so filled with colour! These photos were all taken in Beacon Hill Park.

All around, the colours of spring! Flowers of white, cream, yellow, pink and purple.
I’ve been enjoying early-morning walks with a friend. One of our favourite destinations is Government House, the home of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. The gardens and grounds are amazing. This particular morning, we made our way into the neighbourhood of Rockland past Craigdarroch Castle, a local attraction.

Early spring daffodils and grape hyacinths grow in amongst the rocks.
Long morning shadows.

We enjoyed a pleasant spring day walk yesterday along the Galloping Goose Trail and through Banfield Park to Craigflower Road. There is a small bank of shops at the corner of Raynor which includes an old-fashioned barber shop, bakery, children’s clothing shop, hair dresser, hemp clothing store and cafe. Our main destination was The Spiral Cafe to see paintings by Philip Willey. The Spiral hosts a lot of live music and makes great coffee. We also picked up some yummy bread and other treats at Fry’s Red Wheat Bread. The frangipani in their almond croissant was amazing.
Must have hot chocolate everywhere I go! This one was great and GJ says his coffee was excellent.
An accidental shot in the Spiral; sort of cool.
The Spiral Cafe: a great venue for local music and art.
A great group of local businesses.

We walked home along the Westsong Walkway, enjoying the beautiful view of the Inner Harbour.
