Spring 2025 has sort of arrived!

Technically, spring doesn’t start for another 20 days, but look at these photos and note that it is currently 15C as I type this. For the moment, at least, it’s already here.

A flower on Fader Street

We are in the midst of a rainy stretch here (boo1Yes, boo, not “But at least it means fewer forest fires because the forest fires happen up north, not in the Lower Mainland. People here just grumble when it rains in summer or summer-adjacent months, though admittedly it keeps the grass looking fresh and green.), so when I went for a walk yesterday, everything was rather damp, including this striking flower I shot on nearby Fader Street.
