by February’s end
a happy accident of a photo captured by our waitress
another birthday lunch in another seaside place, this time for my love
a break in the rain, a look over Deep Cove
mountains with snowy peaks shrouded in clouds
a Pineapple Express is here
March is coming in like a lion

Oh, may he have many more!
March is coming in like a snow leopard here…
Happy March!
I think I will never get over how beautiful it is where you are… practically every post makes me want to pack my bags! 😉
I know from experience you do live in a beautiful part of the world but what makes you unique as an artist is your wonderful way of allowing us to perceive your environment.
May you and your husband share many more special birthday breakfasts. Happy Birthday and Happy Almost Spring.
Marly, thanks for the wishes! I hope you stay warm and safe.
Jodi, thank you. I do seem to have posted a lot of images from this area lately. Yes, it is beautiful even in the rain. Have you ever been to the west coast? Canada is such a big country – I’ve not seen it all.
Susan, thanks for the good wishes and always kind words! How’s March behaving on the east coast?
Must be the same weather front that inundated us recently. Well, it warms things up for you, I guess.
Oh, how lovely! I smell sea air and hear the clanking of boats in the marina. We’ve had some sun, and though flurries are predicted for tomorrow the coming week looks sunny and mild. Looks like a balm after a snowy February here.
Happy birthday to Fred. What a clever (or lucky) waitress. Such a clever and orginal (or fortunate) photograph. In the end the credit must go to the publisher.
Hattie, I think it is the same one. I remember hearing about the rains in your area and seeing the weather over the Pacific, then thinking that it may come our way. We usually get a few every winter but this is the first. It is making up for a drier (really??) than normal January and February.
Leslee, hope those flurries are light and insignificant! We’ll have a sunny week once this moves on. Can’t wait to get into the garden.
Joe, thanks from Fred. He had gifted himself with a slightly used iPhone and we were trying out its camera function. The waitress offered to take a photo of us but this first attempt was an accident while she tried to hold it right. I would not let Fred delete it. As an artist I love happy accidents.
Oh but you have such brave and adventurous landscapes in Canada, so different to England’s meek and mild countryside!
Our March has meandered in and hung around unsure whether to allow a lamb-like spring to follow or whether to roar like a wounded large cat
The snowdrops are in flower, daffodils stand tightly-curled, a few brave buds are opening and exposing their green shoots, most are playing safe and staying shut
And I am wondering if the beastly brambles have begun their rampage across my French garden!
Julie! Wonderful to hear from you. I’m glad spring is coming there, even in fits and starts like here. Oh yes, this part of Canada is very different from England – you must visit!
This morning, at last, the skies are blue and the sun is blindingly bright. The snowdrops have been out for weeks and will finish soon. I’m hoping the crocuses will have survived the heavy rains and be allowed to open their flowers wide to the sun. Time to prune the plum tree and the roses.
