The day
started out sunny and spectacular but the afternoon turned into a
soaker. We did not let that interfere with our day, so we went out and
took some pictures. We started downtown on Belleville street at Quadra
Park. This is a great spot to stop for a rest when cruising down town.
Right next to Quadra Park is the Swiftsure Restaurant in the Days Inn
on the Harbour. This restaurant has a great summer time patio and a
restaurant with some of the best views of the Inner Harbour. Check it
out. From there we drove into Oak Bay to complete some family tasks.
Here we discover some amazing double-flowering Plum Trees (The Rose Tree
of Chine). The Whitcomb Cherry trees are the first to come out,
ususally in March (however, some start blossoming in Mid December or
early January). These are indeed beautiful, but my favourite part of
spring is when the double-flowering plum trees blossom. It is like
looking into a pink cloud. You cannot look into the heart of one of
these trees and not remember it forever. My second favourite time in
spring is when the apple trees blossom with thick white blossoms. Enjoy
our spring experience. This day started out sunny and ended in an unexpected downpour. For more pictures go to our Facebook page.
