Fawn

While driving along Beach Drive on my way back from Willows Beach I had to stop when I saw two Blacktail fawns browsing with their mother on lush grasses of the Victoria Golf Club. Victoria has just the right number of deer. You see them fairly often but rarely enough so that it is always a special occasion.

Feels Like Summer

Well, officially it's still spring but when the temperature gets into the mid twenties (Celsius) or mid seventies (Fahrenheit) like it did this week, it sure seems like summer. Here's a sport that's popular with many Victorians, golf. This foursome is pictured on one of the greens of the Victoria Golf Club. The course lies on both sides of Beach Drive and is bounded on the east by the rocky coastline and some pretty awesome views.

Victoria Golf Club

Given the large number of senior citizens in Victoria it is not surprising that golf is a popular sport. Here is a scene from the Victoria Golf Club in Oak Bay, a membership only club that is one of the oldest and finest golf courses in Canada. The golfer contemplating her next shot in this photo is in a scene that has probably not changed much since the course was established in 1893. That's Trial Island in the background and, further back, the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula.
