Spring has Sprung Early than ever

Spring has sprung in Victoria. Recent temperatures have been a few degrees above normal. The next few days look like 10-11 degrees C. As a result, the cherry blossom trees are starting to happen. Trees are turning pink throughout the city. Other trees are showing signs of leafing. The daffodils are up and snow drops are everywhere. I would say spring has arrived, just in time for the "Winter" Olympics. Good thing they are not in Victoria.

Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom Time!

This time of year, when the wind blows, it often seems link there is pink snow in the air. The gutters are lined with pink. It is one of my favourite times of the year. Spring is earths renewal and the pink just lets you know how good that is. Come for a visit and see the pink. Certain areas of Victoria, like Esquimalt, have more pink flowering trees than others. We often joke with our prairie neighbours (Alberta and Saskatchewan) that it is time to get out the blossom-blower! For more information on Victoria, click here.
