Quadra Skyward
On my lunchtime walk last Friday down Quadra Street to Beacon Hill Park I seem to have looked at the blue sky a lot. A theme emerged in the few pictures that I took which was one of trees-against-the-blue-sky. I did take a moment to picture the fence I showed a few days ago, and a building that I might show later this week.

Winter Starts to Close
I have previously posted about Swan Lake which is a nature sanctuary in Saanich, just north of Victoria. My previous posts was about how it looked in the fall. This one is about the winter, but more than that it is about the emergent signs of spring which are to be found in the more sheltered parts.
Quadra Fence
At lunchtime last Friday I walked down Quadra Street to Beacon Hill Park. This fence caught my eye in the 500 block of Quadra near its intersection with Academy Close. It surrounds the front yard of a small heritage house that resides in the shadow of a recent apartment block. It is near the centre of this map. This location is about 1/2 block from the part of Beacon Hill Park featured in this post from the fall.

King George Fence
As with my post about an Arbutus tree on King George Terrace this post is on the same road, but at the crest of the hill, and is also taken the same evening, as was these shots of rose hips and an ocean edge hedge. The fence is stained with what looks like the abundantly popular Sikkens yellowish wood stain that is found on many properties in this area, even my own, though it is more expensive than I can really afford. It is too bright for this location and really is a bit of a sore thumb in its fresh state. However, it does work OK in black and white. I like the light on copper post caps, and the parallel curving lines.
