Victoria, British Columbia October 15, 2025

Today’s colours and clouds were wonderfully dreamy and gave a “little piece of paradise” feel!  While mostly sitting yesterday for four hours of whale watching, today I was ready to hit the walkways and cover lots of kilometres.  The sky was gorgeous from the second I walked out of my Inn to the second I returned after the long walk. The Inner Harbour always calls out to me and the call was extra loud this time.


The plan was to walk the walkway to Fisherman’s Wharf then on towards Dallas Road.  I walked this way to get to where I needed to be for whale watching yesterday but did not take time to savour the scenery. Today was all about savouring!



While eyeing the reds in the trees, around the corner floated a red plane!

It had just landed and was floating to the Inner Harbour Airport.

I watched the sky go from this…..

…..I exited to see the still amazing sky!
I let it frame me!
Got it right on the first try!

I was giving all my attention to the sky over the water.
 Then I turned around and saw this off towards Beacon Hill Park.  

I arrived back at the Inner Harbour in time for a late lunch.  When I asked for a seat outside, she looked at me with a look that said “really”.  I wanted an unobstructed view  so sat outside bundled up with a blanket over my legs. The beer and fish tasted the best!

If I had not already walked enough, I walked more. Not that I wanted to so quickly walk off my lunch, but the views were so pretty with those clouds in the sky and the sun felt very warm.  I added another hour of walking to the three hours I did earlier.


It eventually came time to settle in with my feet up and 
savour sips of that Sea Star Salish Sea wine!
