Freakish Weather

Those of you who visit here on a daily basis will remember that I said I was going out to Saanich yesterday to pick strawberries. Morning dawned wintry gray and wet, not a day for picking strawberries. Yet by mid-afternoon the the clouds had blown away and here's what it looked like downtown on the lawns of the BC Legislature. According to the weather prognosticators summer has finally arrived here (we've had weeks of cold cloudy days). It looks like a real summer day outside this morning so check here for strawberries tomorrow.

It's supposed to be extremely warm and sunny for the next few days. What I wouldn't give to be on a ferry headed to Vancouver Island.

Do I actually see an unadorned lamp post in this picture???

Yes, the hanging flower baskets seem to be reserved for the lamp posts that are on the street, but they are up all over town and looking good.

Looks like a perfect summer day. Hope your strawberries come through!

Linda - the strawberry picking was excellent but the photos are not quite as dramatic as the night shots I've been taking since the weather warmed up so they've been archived for later.
