More from Victoria, B.C. Last Week

More pics from our week in Victoria. The previous post included pics from Paul’s camera. These are from Jean’s camera. Again we begin with a visit to Beacon Hill Park.

Then a walk toward downtown with flowers along the way and a rest stop at Starbuck’s.

The hike to Ogden Point is long, but the reward at the end is this long pier with a lighthouse at the end and, of course, more flowers and birds.

Next up is a return to Beacon Hill Park. We can’t get enough of this place!

The shorefront walkway to the inner harbor is always available. It isn’t as pretty as it once was because the city had to dig out many tons of toxic waste that was used decades ago to create shoreline. Much of it is barren and we hope they plant something soon. However, looking the other way you can enjoy birds , boats, water taxis and float planes coming and going in the harbor. There are a few places that didn’t get excavated that still have flowers.

This concludes our summary of our trip to Victoria, B.C. With sunny weather and temps in the 60’s it was a great time to get out and enjoy the city.

About Paul

I'm retired, but working at painting, photography, and song writing. We like to travel and paint plein air in new places. Of course that's also where photography comes into the picture, so to speak. Sometimes I get inspired to write songs about the people and places we visit.
