A Peaceful Nature Break

Here’s a bit of what I’ve been seeing on my walks here in Victoria. The Oregon grape is in full fruit, the blackberries are starting to ripen, and the swallows are loud and numerous!

Here’s a reminder to take advantage of whatever season you’re in right now. As for me, I’m cherishing the remaining warm sunshine and looking forward to sweater weather.
