• S is Spring Sunshine in Sidney by the Sea

  While Alberta and many other parts of Canada struggle with snow and rain recovering from a long winter, the pacific northwest is in full bloomin’ spring!  

  Spent this past week visiting family in Vancouver and Victoria BC, and just enjoy some of my spring photos! 

  Here is what their official website indicates for Sidney by the Sea

  Sidney

  Aerial View of Sidney-by-the-Sea, Sidney BC Set amidst the natural beauty and unspoiled charm of the Saanich Peninsula, the vibrant community of Sidney-by-the-Sea is the gateway to the BC Gulf Islands and the US San Juan Islands. This bustling commercial hub of the Saanich Peninsula is blessed with majestic views of the ocean, the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges. Sidney is a tourist's dream - a friendly port with modern marinas and a multitude of unique galleries, gift stores, antique shops, restaurants, bakeries and coffee bars.

   

  Sidney enjoys a moderate Mediterranean type climate with year-round mild temperatures, low rainfall and very little snow!

  scenic waterfront walkways with purple heather in rock wall,

  Flowers well many....cherry blossoms in front of my sister's place,

  magnolia trees ready to bloom in many brilliant shades ,

  clematis after the rain.
