Saturday Morning Bubbles...

...in Oak Bay.

Threeleaf Foamflower (Tiarella trifoliata)

These delicate blossoms belong to another member of the saxifrage family, the Threeleaf Foamflower (Tiarella trifoliata). This is from my recent walk up Mount Douglas.

The Causeway

I took advantage of another warm sunny day yesterday to visit one of my favorite summertime haunts, Victoria's Inner Harbour Causeway. There were lots of strollers enjoying the view and many of the artists and performers that make this area such a vibrant and memorable experience. Summer has begun!

One That Got Away

Bumper Cars

Is there anything finer?Probably not, although some seem to prefer the Tilt-A-Whirl.Whatever your taste in inane childish thrills, you will find it at the Oak Bay Tea Party. If the midway rides are not enough, you can belly up to some fries and gravy and a slushie while you watch the bathtub races. And of course, since it's Oak Bay, there is also the Baron of Beef and Tetley's Tea option. Where else can you have a troop of Girl Guides serve you tea on the beach? It's all still happening today at Willows Beach in Oak Bay and it's all for the benefit of local charities. Don't miss this great local event.
