🌷 Victoria: A Poem Written in Spring

Captured on April 20, 2024 | Victoria, BC 📸 Last month marked my ninth road trip to Banff, but Victoria? I’ve lost count. Yet April’s charm here was uncharted territory. 📸 How does spring in this harbor city compare to "Cherry Blossom Capital" Vancouver? With this question, I revisited familiar streets—this time, lens wide open. 📸 No single landmark, just spring’s full symphony: 🌷 Tulip carpets at Fairmont Empress 🌸 Floral fireworks in Butchart Gardens 🐴 Cherry-blossom-draped horse carriages 🏛️ Parliament’s emerald lawns 🌊 Oak Bay’s sapphire waters 🦜 Beacon Hill Park’s birdsong ballet 🌅 Fisherman’s Wharf’s golden-hour glow 🚤 Water taxis stitching laughter across the harbor 📸 If Vancouver is slow-paced, Victoria is time halved again. Grand yet artsy, historic yet vibrant—it’s not just the island’s crown jewel, but the ultimate postcard. 📷: Hasselblad 907X 100C 🔭: Hasselblad 55mm F2.5V #VictoriaBC #SpringMagic #WestCoastVibes #HasselbladMoments #CityOfGardens #SlowTravel #ExploreCanada
