The butterflies are back at the greenhouse in Bowring Park. Last year the insectarium in Deer Lake brought hundreds of butterflies to St. John's and they've done it again this year. I took tons of pictures this morning, it was hard choosing which ones to show, so I went with a variety.
A lovely clear day today but cold!!! I went for a short walk in the woods on snowshoes. I was hoping to find a geocache but I guess it was covered in the snow. Snowshoeing, trying to follow a gps and take pictures is not very easy.
In between cleaning and cooking for Easter dinner tomorrow, I managed to get out for a quick walk around Kenny's Pond this afternoon as it started to clear off. Well, as quick as you can go when you have to walk in other people's footprints in the snow.
We had a lot of freezing rain yesterday and everything on higher ground is still iced over.
We flew home today. I didn't get any pictures of the Rockies because of cloud cover but I did get some cool aerial photos. I love the patterns in the land and the shadows from the clouds. The 2nd photo is of Lake Manitoba and the 3rd photo is Regina, Saskatchewan. It's just plunked there right in the middle of the prairies.
Today I met up with a friend and she took me sightseeing to some areas I would never have gotten to on my own. We saw the Lieutenant Governor's residence and two castles, Craigdarroch Castle and Hatley Castle, as well as other areas.
Today was the coldest day we've had so far, about 8 Celsius with high winds and showers. But I did see a rainbow, which made up for the rain.
Another overcast day with a bit of clearing, which was good considering the forecast was for rain. We walked across the harbour this afternoon, there are some impressive hotels and condo buildings over there. The 2nd photo shows a view of downtown Victoria from the other side of the harbour and the 3rd photo is the cute little harbour ferry which is like a taxi. You can see several zipping across the harbour throughout the day.
