Though we tend to tread them underfoot, there are some local plants that thrive in this cold wet weather, mosses and lichens. This year what seems to me to be a more than ordinarily wet winter has produced a splendid crop of mosses such as those above visible along the Westsong Walkway. There are times when Victoria's colors remind me very much of Ireland.

Tis the Season to be Mossy

A very moody scene today, Ben. I like it very much. Comfortable.
Beautiful photo!I like the contrast between the green grass and gray from the sky...
Yep, very mossy. Great photo!
Maybe I'll celebrate the mossy season with a Guinness! ;-)
Remember this scene from Esquimalt well and miss the lush mossy greens. Thanks for the lovely posting of such a picture-postcard scene!
Such a beautiful photograph and wonderful composition. Oh how I miss my mosses.....
Thank you for sharing.

Yes when I think of Victoria, apart from the harbour views and Beacon Hill park I remember well the moss covered rocks and the oak trees. You've captured a lovely view there Ben.
Indeed, when «Louis» saw the photo and before he read the text, he thought immediately of Ireland!
Amazing to see all this lichen. Super shot.
Very beautiful photo. It is so picturesque that it resembles a painting! Great job.
