Jean's Pics
I have been living in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island for over 20 years, and have been taking pictures - lots of pictures! Here is a sample, taken in January over a number of years.
They have been hidden in my computer.... and some viewers might enjoy them!

Plants growing in the tops of the logs
I am fond of reflections

Every trip to Victoria I drive around Dallas Rd. by the sea... This day it was very windy near Ogden Point and foam was flying.
This wasn't intended to be a black and white shot.

A storm coming - Ross Bay
Witch hazel blooming and giving a splash of colour.
The old bridge at Beacon Hill Park
An old tree at the park - something evil from a fairy tale.
It's cold out, but the indoor garden is blooming at Butchart Gardens. Every year the cafe is turned into the early Spring garden.

The little snail fountain at Butchart looks wintery.
