Zombies Visit the Legislature

Hard to tell whether this couple are legislators having a rest from a hard committee meeting or simply visitors taking a break on the Legislature steps. Below, these zombies ride such cool vehicles!

Sunny Saturday

The sun peeked out from the clouds on Saturday. Many Victoria families took advantage of its benign rays for an afternoon stroll around the Inner Harbour.

Welcome to Victoria!

Downtown today my heart gave a leap when I saw this long line of revelers. My immediate thought was "Oh, it's the Olympic Torch Relay!" But looking more closely I found that none of them were carrying a torch. "Of course," I thought, "it's the line-up for the H1N1 vaccination!" But no, there's no clinic nearby. When I noticed the smiling faces and the multitude of cameras, however, I realized I was just suffering from media induced fantasies again. This is a tour group, of course, one of the last of the season no doubt, probably just fresh from passing through airport security by the look of them. Welcome to Victoria, happy travellers!

(I kept my distance, mind you. That little soccer zombie on the right looks like he has sharp teeth.)
