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.

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.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, when «Louis» saw the photo and before he read the text, he thought immediately of Ireland!
