@ike #VictoriaBC is lovely and has plenty of coffee shops et al. If you go up-island you can see a stunning array of micro-climates and lots of parks. My brother lives in Duncan and we need to get back there again.
I'm going to be going on a short visit to #Victoria BC this month.
Any particular recommendations for a random internet dude you know almost nothing about?
I like coffee shops, bookstores, local's favorite's greasy spoons, and micro brew. A nice park or forest to hike or run through is great too. If it is a thing in Canada, farmer's markets are cool.

PISSED FACELESS
An expression people I knew growing up in #VictoriaBC #Canada used to describe someone very drunk. i.e. Kev was pissed faceless.
Years later, I looked up that expression on Google only to find...nothing. Not 1 reference. Did the same thing again today and 4(!) hits came up in total. 2 didn't count. Of the other 2, one was found in a poem by Susan Musgrave. Hmm. I knew that name. Looked her up, & where does she live? BC! So I'm thinking a VERY REGIONAL expression.
Am I wrong?
#Today, our day off and #labourDay we headed down to #VictoriaBC for dinner at #Pagliaccis
We shared an appie of crab cakes, a pasta with truffle cream and this amazing dish in marinara "I'll have what she's Having"
#pagliaccis #victoriabc #labourday #today
What is obvious, is that new #COVID19 case numbers are trending upward and accelerating.
Wear your fucking N95s. Demand mask requirements of the #BCNDP and #BCCDC. 3/3

Show 3 for Victoria Fringe. Broken Rhythms dance company are about to present "Chiaro Sicaro".
Sometimes I look at the styles of other photographers, and think "I wish my photos looked a little more like that".
Other times, I just go out and have fun doing whatever the heck this is.

This peaceful protest at #BritishColumbia #BCgovernment #MinistryOfEnvironment building in #VictoriaBC was about the only time that I thanked cops.
It was because an angry woman, who was walking by, opted to start trying to verbally abuse me & 2 other women chained up with me. She was growing more aggressive & cops told her to leave or be arrested. They also told landlord of building we had a right to protest & refused to arrest us when demanded.
I give credit when it's due & never otherwise.

Check out my #strange #spiral shaped #homegrown #cucumber ๐ฉโ๐พ
It decided to wrap itself around a chopstick marker stake & kept growing around it.
Slicing it up to add to salad rolls for lunch.

Fifth Season has finally arrived in #yyj. Smoky haze - not blocking the sun yet, but definitely noticeable. #VictoriaBC
