@tantramar Meanwhile I'm wearing shorts and I'm gonna go pick up dinner by ebike... and you just convinced me to wear crocs for it. But my weather is quite different today.

If you're in the #Saanich / #VictoriaBC / #YYJ area - I'm putting this mint condition #hardcover #Batman #comic #book into my little free library this weekend. It's on Kamloops Ave. Look for the dinosaurs atop the LFL roof - it's also plastered in environmental & social justice/anti-fascist stickers.
Not much in the way of spring mushrooms in my area but I did spot a couple showy Lichenomphalia and a shy pixie cup in the background. #fungi #mushtodon #yyj #victoriabc
The new Wairua Cafe in #northparkvic is open. I can attest that their flat white is perfect. #yyj #victoriabc #cafe
The daffodils are absolutely everywhere right now and amazing. This one is outside George Jay Elementary on Cook Street.

US produce wears out welcome with Victoria, British Columbia grocery store
The store says it has made moves to source all 380 of its fruits and vegetable from non-American growers
“Prior to all of this, one of our most popular spinach was Popeye Spinach. We used to sell 60 to 80 bags a day of that stuff,” said Innis. “In the last week that we had it, we sold two bags. That’s a message.”

#ThrowbackThursday
4 years ago, I first met this gentle giant.
It's one of the only older Western red #cedar #trees left at #W̱MÍYEŦEN #NatureSanctuary. Most of the land had been logged more than once before it was acquired for conservation & rewilding. This is a 2nd growth cedar & it is over 150 yrs old.
The W̱MÍYEŦEN #Nature Sanctuary is a 42 acre protected forest and riparian area that supports biodiversity while preserving ecosystems and wildlife habitat. The tranquil natural environment, inspires an awareness of nature as teacher and essential ally.

I'm a member of this local, biodiverse nature sanctuary. They mainly rely on memberships & public donations. They work with #Indigenous leaders/educators/naturalists from #Wsanec First Nations. The name was changed from the former Mary Lake Sanctuary to W̱MÍYEŦEN Nature Sanctuary to respect that the property is on native lands.
"I was here." - Beaver
Very clear evidence of #beavers activity. You can see their many chew marks on this stump. This is in a small #Saanich community park, stewarded by citizens who live beside little Calvert Lake.
Access to trails is off of Prospect Lake Rd & easy to miss if you're not paying close attention. Only room for 2 cars to park on roadside pullouts. The trails aren't very well maintained & you can easily get lost around them. I've ended up in someone's backyard once, trying to hike back out. Wear long pants because there's a lot of places you have to bushwhack through along tiny footpaths. Lots of salal, Oregon grape, lady ferns (excellent for fiddleheads harvesting) & mushrooms.
The City is digging up one of the old brick water cisterns (or evidence of the secret tunnels for the conspiracy minded) on Government Street. May be the one chance to see one of them opened up if you hurry down. Near Johnson #yyj #victoriabc #secrettunnels
