Photo of the Month – August

Hi Folks: August was a pretty quiet month for us, photographically at least. However, we did have a couple of interesting images to make. Marcia’s first: One day while we were down at the Inner Harbour, we spotted this yacht in port. She looks to be a converted fishing trawler, Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – July

Hi Folks: In honour of the 30th Annual Moss St. Paint-In, we’re celebrating art in our photos of the month for July! Marcia’s image is first. We came across this scene and, as writers ourselves, recognized it as everything the modern travel writer needs! It’s perfect! For Mike’s image we Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – June

Hi Folks: We had a fairly busy month photographically in June, including some time at the Oak Bay Tea Party and several walks along Dallas Road. It can be a challenge selecting one image from each batch for the month, but we’re happy with our choices. Marcia first: Marcia’s image Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – Big Skies

Hi Folks: We thought we’d do a themed post for May’s images. Although Marcia is mostly renowned for her flower photography, she does in fact shoot a wide variety of other work as well! As we’re both big fans of clouds and cloud watching, we thought we’d use clouds as Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – April

Hi Folks: Eek! Already mid-May and we haven’t done a Photo of the Month post for April yet! Just so much happening in this town… At the end of April we had the opportunity to go out to Finnerty Gardens at the University of Victoria and wander around for a Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – March

Hi Folks: Under the ‘better late than never’ category, we wanted to present two alternate views of spring here in Victoria. We had a late spring this year; our own personal Flower Count at the beginning of March was about 3% of what it was last year. However, as the Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – February

Hi Folks: One of the things we love about Victoria is that there are always so many things to do (we have to choose from at least eight events that we know of for this Saturday). In February we like to participate in ‘Be A Tourist in Your Own Hometown‘, Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – January

Hi Folks: January was somewhat of a month of recuperation for us, and as such we didn’t make a lot of images. We did get out some, however! As always, Marcia’s image is first. This is a close-up image of some frost (uncommon for Victoria) on the glass of a Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – November

Hi Folks: November was a busy, restless month for us, and so we’ve chosen images that highlight some of the quieter moments we had in order to provide some balance. Marcia’s is first – an image of Thetis Lake Regional Park in Langford – and a place and a space Continue Reading →

Photo of the Month – October

Hi Folks: It’s raining heavily as this post is being written; many locals complain about our wet time of the year but we look forward to knowing that the aquifer (and us and everything else) will appreciate the water next summer during our dry period. Apparently we had 26 days Continue Reading →
