Summer is coming right? Apparently it’s hot elsewhere in the country; I guess maybe it’s a balance thing, i.e. it needs to be cool here if it’s hot somewhere else. Oh well, enough moaning about the weather – hiking is good in pretty much anything.
As I am the planning dictator for my Wednesday hikes I decided to opt for a short outing to the University of Victoria (UVic) grounds and Henderson Park. This general area is great for Michelle and I since it’s pretty close to home, not to mention the fact that it’s interesting on a variety of levels. I mean there’s rabbits, slugs, crazy flowers, students, and other stuff. This week we basically covered some Alumni Trail, Finnerty Gardens, and then headed off campus for a lap of Henderson Park. Goodly, despite the rain dampened enthusiasm.

There isn't any real shortage of colourful flowers around Victoria.
One of the trails on the UVic campus and some evidence of rain.
Lots of slugs and snails (I think that's what this is) on the trails at UVic.
Part of the UVic Alumni Trail I believe. Uhhh, I feel green... how's that for cheese.
Hee hee, elevator ride to view of the campus, hee hee...
It's UVic, so there will be rabbits. Rabbits don't seem to mind going about their business in the rain.
Mo rabbits fo yo. This is in the vicinity of the medical building on the UVic campus.

The wood chip trail around Henderson Park was surprisingly free of slimy invertebrates, aka slugs.
Those are some pretty pictures
