Winter in Victoria
We got a bunch of snow over the holidays and it mostly kept me indoors because it was difficult to get anywhere. But I did manage to grab a few fun wintery photos on my balcony and after the snow had melted a bit, so here’s a little bit of my experience.
I’d never seen killdeer so far away from the water, but a bunch were just hanging out in a snow bank.

I always try to enjoy the seasonal changes that I can see from my balcony. It’s so different to see these plants all covered in snow!

Probably the most exciting moment of our one outing over the break were these otters playing around a pond. They were rolling around in the snow and grooming each other and being generally adorable.
