Most Fridays, I head out at 7:15 to meet a lovely friend for a walk. We choose from a few different favourite routes. It’s been fun to see how the light changes each week.

The last three Fridays have provided a variety of weather. January 21 offered the most beautiful sunrise. We took the Westsong Walkway around the inner harbour to Esquimalt. The bird watching is particularly good along this route.

January 28, we walk through delicious fog downtown and along the outer harbour walkway to James Bay.

Last Friday was just a late-winter cloudy day, but it was so much brighter when I set out!

I know my favourite things list is ever changing, but I am very happy to have finally fallen in love with snowshoeing. I thought I might like it, but I haven’t had an opportunity to try it in Victoria where snowy days are few and far between. On Christmas Eve morning, while my sis and R were out skiing, GJ and I borrowed their snowshoes and headed out to explore the snowy golf course next to where they live. It was the most glorious day with brooding clouds, bright blue patches, and the sun shining brightly. We saw only a few people out in the distance and it was quiet and peaceful.

The beginning of our hike, just across from where my sister lives. It was only about noon and the sun was already almost obscured by the hills.

Off we go!
