Beacon Hill beauties

In 1777, Dr. Samuel Johnson said, "When a man is tired of London he is tired of life."  The same can be said for Victoria and its surrounding area.  There is so much to see and to do and to enjoy. 

Just down the road from where I live, at Ogden's Point, is the world's longest wall mural.  I have looked it often but not taken any pictures.  The mural is a project of the First People's on Vancouver Island and was started in 2009.  All the painting has been done by hand and done by young people.  The mural's website theunitywall.com has a video well worth watching.  Another time I will add my own pictures.  theunitywall.ca

Yesterday I wandered over to Beacon Hill Park with my camera.  I knew that if I went out without it I would be sorry.  Sometimes the beauty of this place takes my breath away.
