Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic – Victoria, BC

April 6, 2011:

Did a nice, slightly longer than average Wednesday hike at Mt. Tolmie, UVic, and Mystic Vale tonight. I think I mentioned it last time… there are no rabbits left at UVic… very weird. Thanks to some expert guidance (thanks Corinne and Gracee) we ended up [...]

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

March 30, 2011:

Tonight’s hike location… Francis King Park. I kind of thought it was going to rain, but aside from some barely noticeable drops here and there it was fine. Let’s see, there was some sweet trail, there was skunk cabbage, there was slippery rock, there was [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

March 26, 2011:

This afternoon turned out pretty well… good for a road bike ride, which ended up being my first Saanich Peninsula loop of the year. Today also marked the first ride of the year wearing shorts instead of the usual winter stuff. While this may seem [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Doug – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Doug – Victoria, BC

March 23, 2011:

Mud needs love too you know. I say this because I have observed first-hand some notable dislike for the soupy brown stuff over the years. Maybe soupy and brown are mud’s main problem… what if it was soupy and pink and smelled like cotton candy, [...]

Hike – Calvert Park – Victoria, BC

Hike – Calvert Park – Victoria, BC

March 19, 2011:

I have ridden my road bike on Prospect Lake Road quite a few times over the last few years, and on more than a few of those occasions I found myself thinking “where does that trail go” as I rode past the south end of [...]

It’s Friday Again

It’s Friday Again

March 18, 2011:

Another week in the books, and in what has become something of a tradition, I wound down with a circuitous walk to the bus stop while snapping some pics. Being somewhat dreary and with the threat of rain, not many pics were taken. I figured [...]

Wednesday Hike – Cedar Hill Golf Course & Summit Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Cedar Hill Golf Course & Summit Park – Victoria, BC

March 16, 2011:

More daylight has arrived this week in the form of our Spring time change… PDT rocks. Also this week my four week hibernation from Wednesday hiking has come to an end with a spicy variation on the standard Cedar Hill Golf Course loop. I guess [...]

Hike – Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

Hike – Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

March 6, 2011:

Ahhh, it felt good today to get out for a hike. While I was out and about yesterday in downtown Vic I found myself thinking that it was looking a bit brown around town, kind of like how places look in the more wintry parts [...]

Saturday Morning… I Take Many Photos

Saturday Morning… I Take Many Photos

March 5, 2011:

Grabbed the camera this morning and headed to various locations in this thriving metropolis of Victoria. You may question the ‘thriving’ claim since it will be hard to find evidence of people in any of the photos below. First stop was Gonzales Hill observatory – [...]

Snow Day in Victoria

Snow Day in Victoria

February 23, 2011:

Last night seemed about average for Februrary, maybe a bit cool I guess. At some point during the night our average February night turned into snowtron 8000. I’d say there was about 15-20cm on the ground this morning, which is well above what usually falls [...]

Hike – Mill Hill – Victoria, BC

Hike – Mill Hill – Victoria, BC

February 19, 2011:

We headed out to Colwood today for a short hike at Mill Hill. For the first part of the drive / crawl out to Colwood there were thoughts of Goldstream or Mt. Wells, but then I remembered as we passed Thetis Lake that I had [...]

Friday Photos – Downtown Victoria

February 11, 2011:

Am I weird? My Friday, post-work activity involved walking around taking some photos. No beer, no wings, just some photos and a soy green tea latte.
