January 29th spring has fired first shots:

 

 

Moss Lady is still sleeping though

 

 

Spring Prelude at the Butchart Gardens:

 

 

 

 

Just two weeks later, it's more like a machine-gun

 

Ducks: and then manna fell from heaven

 

Cats, boxes...

 

 

 Tod Inlet, old foundations overtaken by the moss and undergrowth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sidney seashore, in all its evening glory
