pine droplets

The first half of May was very rainy, but this week’s forecast is calling for all clear skies and warm temperatures. Here’s  a remembrance to spring’s damp beginning, which has made everything so lush and green.

Morning sun shines on a stalk of bunny ears grass after a brief spring shower. Beats me why they call it “bunny ears” when it looks much more like a “bunny tail” to me!

Sidney waterfront

Last week I had the occasion to visit the small town of Sidney, on Vancouver Island, for the first time. I took the early ferry over, ran my few errands, and found myself with some time to kill before the next ferry back home. Cold, wet, and gloomy weather notwithstanding, the pup and I headed to the waterfront to explore a bit.

It was looking pretty bleak and deserted, but I think in nicer weather it would be quite charming. And probably a lot busier!

Definitely worth a return trip on a warm spring or summer day.
