The Teacup Tree

We came upon a teacup tree. A cup for you, and a cup for me.
The sign in granny’s front yard.

Granny’s favourite charity, artsREACH, is a non-profit organization that provides free enrichment workshops in visual arts, dance, and theatre to vulnerable schools in the Greater Victoria BC area.

Tea cups and blossoms…

Since 2005, more than 42,000 children have benefited from the program.

A perfect find, on a perfect day!

The Shapes, and Tastes, of Victoria

A beautiful resting spot!

Found at the centre of a community garden, surrounded by shrubs and trees baring edible fruits. A wonderful work of art, a perfect spot to rest, to reflect, to rejuvenate.

Love the wildlife tree.

A beautiful, edible garden. For humans, and other earthly friends.

Jam Cafe

Brunch for the three of us, at the very cool, Jam Cafe. Great food, great service, and, great ambiance.

Shortly after arriving back in Ontario, I happened to be watching the Canadian TV show ‘You Gotta Eat Here’. The feature restaurant being, the Jam Cafe, in Victoria!

I’d loved thinking ‘been there, done that, will do it again!’

Like John Catucci says, ‘You Gotta Eat Here!’

Johnson St. Bridge

The Johnson St. Bridge, Canada’s largest single-leaf bascule bridge, spans the distance between the Inner Harbour and the Upper Harbour of Victoria, BC.

Opening in 2018, fifty percent of the bridge accommodates pedestrian and cyclist traffic.

The things that make a city turn.

So many shapes, so much colour!

Colours in the sky!

Victoria, such a beautiful place to be!
