Everything looks fresh and new these days and that includes the old Victoria Custom House, built in 1875. At this time of year even its unusual color seems to be complementary to the exploding plum tree overlooking the Inner Harbour.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

The tree with the blossoms steals the scene.
Nice shades of pink. I do love that building although in a way it kind of creeps me out. I wonder if it's haunted.
The blossoms are amazing!
Looks so pretty against the dramatic clouds the building and the tree in bloom.
