#SeaBlush is a locally native hardy annual in the #Valerian family. It grows through out coastal BC & PNW areas. These were growing out of gravel beside the #DockyardGreen building in #Vicwest.

Here's the event slideshow.
1st #NorthAfrican #Cookout at Fed Farm in #Vicwest. Absolutely fabulous community event! Lots of delicious #Moroccan & #Tunisian foods were cooked & given to guests to eat. Many stories shared. Beautiful acoustic music was played. Wonderful new local BIPOC connections were made & some lovely reunions occurred too. I had a really great time!
Most folks who came out had similar displacement backgrounds. Several of us are war survivors who lost our family homes overseas & are far from many family members(my Mom's side is stuck in remote offgrid village) who are still living in our homelands. It was good for our souls to be around fellow POC diaspora. We understand each other better than others do because of similar life experiences from before coming to Canada. We also faced similar struggles/racism when we came to Canada as refugees of wars.
I am looking forward to helping them out more at some future community connecting events & grassroots projects in the near future.

Selkirk Trestle Bridge. Shot from waters below.
It's a well used bicycle & pedestrian bridge that spans across the #GorgeWaterway - from #VicWest to #BurnsideGorge.

#VictoriaBC council paved the way this week for a 40-unit permanent #SupportiveHousing facility in #VicWest, despite neighbourhood opposition.
With vague promises that “this will be better” than a previous temporary shelter at the site, council adopted new bylaws & amended the official #CommunityPlan for the #housing project at 225 Russell St.

#skateboarding #blaster over gate. Although I wasn't totally satisfied with this shot - it's the one that earned me lots of extra income from selling multiple usage rights to it.
I was the only photographer there who caught this successful blaster move.

Sorting through some of my #PastWork / #Photography #archived shots.
Found some from #skateboarding in #VicWest . These are my shots of #TJWatt before he cut off the dreads hair; when he was an avid #skateboarder in #VictoriaBC .
Most folks recognize clean cut TJ; who has taken some of the most recognizable old growth tree photos in BC & cofounder of #AncientForestAlliance on #VancouverIsland .
