Cherry Blossoms and Crocuses

Living in Victoria for going on five years this time around, cherry blossoms and crocuses mean spring is well on its way. We did get fooled last winter when they started coming out in January and then we had a snowstorm in February that left us snowy for a couple of weeks. Here we are on leap year February 29 and the blossoms are busting out all over. I was at Summit Park last week and the crocuses are popping up all over. Spring is coming! The rest of my country might be blanketed/buried in snow and ice, but we are close to wearing sandals here. I did spend Christmas in Regina, so I have had a taste of real winter. Enough to remind me why I live here and not anywhere else in Canada.

So here you go - spring in Victoria...
