#Flowers near Lansdowne

[reworkingsofatiredmind]

At Lansdown

We arrived at Lansdown and decided to park along the road where the car boot sales usually are. We crossed over to join the public footpath by the racecourse and saw as two kestrels and a crow persistently bombed a large buzzard. We figured it was perhaps too close to a nest or some young. It was quite a sight and quite a ruckus.

We continued down the racetrack and saw other various birds and butterflies. It was long and hot but beautiful and smelled fresh and green.

We arrived at an open field with glorious views overlooking bath. It was clear enough that we could see all the Welsh mountains on the horizon and Bristol nestled ahead with its ugly high rise buildings. It's a low down, but sprawling city. Certainly when compared with London. Or perhaps international cities.

We entered a field with sheep, though they were much further down. While we couldn't see them, their familiar bleeting was loud enough. We turned a bend and back up toward the golf course. I was watching my feet as I traversed the path and kicked my way through floppy overgrown grasses.

All of a sudden, my ears were met with the thrumming chorus of bees buzzing. I glanced upward expecting to see a flowering tree nearby only to be confronted with the sight of a swarm or bees racing about us! It was a sight we had never seen before! We both turned on our heels and ran squealing away from the throng and stood a moment to survey the scene. We contemplated turning back, but we had come so far! As we discussed our option, weighing up the likelihood of being stung to bits, the swarm slowly moved off the path and down the slope toward the trees. We looked at one another and Jeremy launched himself into a run! "You're running?! Are you mad?" I cried as I followed in a quick jog behind, giggling and squealing as I did so. We made it to the other side of the swarm unscathed and looked back to watch the shadow of bees slowly blur into the leaves. We both stood astounded. What a thing to see! Like something you might find in Africa, Jeremy exclaimed!

We continued on our way, remarking what a day it had been. A large red dragonfly gracefully flew overhead and disappeared behind us. We smiled and carried on. Nearing the woods, the golf course opened up and the air grew humid from the puddles on the ground. Horseflies began to take an interest in our body heat, trying to get close! We waved our arms at the horrid things and escaped into the shade of the woods.

The humidity eased, and a cool ethereal air wrapped about us. Cool shade, and streaming sunlight emanated, and insects flocked in the rays of light, dancing, rising and falling like dust. School children gathered to our left about a fire pit where a roaring fire rose, flames licking the air and smoke catching the light fall.

We gently placed our loose belongings beside a fallen tree and climbed stop our home base as we had done each time before. He held my hand as I walked along the trunk, and back again feeling braver than usual. And then, after Jeremy had done the same we erupted into a game of tag! Flitting amongst the trees, giggling, laughing, chasing each other with childlike glee. Our worries left with our belongings by the fallen tree. We spun, turned, agile and athletic trying to weave all manner of tricks to outsmart one another. Grins spread wide across our faces and we forgot the others in the woods as we tore through fallen leave and branch in hasty chase of each other.

The game came to an end and reluctantly we began a steady walk back to the car. Once more we saw the buzzard fly low and proud over the trees, disappearing into a neighbouring field.

Our drive was warm and sleepy, and we stopped briefly at the university where a heron stalked the ducks by the lake. I never saw the outcome, as I hurried myself back to the car to go home.

Stopped briefly in traffic outside Sainsbury's, I looked to my right out the window whole Jeremy snoozed in the passenger seat. I watched as a little blackbird rigourously picked up as many ants as it could from a best in a crack on the curb. It's beak full of little black ants, it thrust it's little body into the air and flew straight toward the open window, narrowly missing us and swooping just in time over the roof of the car and into the trees on the other side to eat it's feast.

We arrived home weary and satisfied. Our bellies full of the adventure we had. And back to work we went, Jeremy's beautiful music rising up the stairwell as I collected stats for my team meeting tomorrow.

Velvet Victoria

This is an itinerary of fairy tale castles, Victorian homes and glorious coastal views. You can see this driving itinerary in the Verdant Victoria Map.

Craigdarrock Castle

We came to Craigdarroch Castle late in the day and were rewarded with beautiful lighting on the front and side of the castle.  The stained glass, cast iron, and stone work are very special. This National Historic Site was built by wealthy coal baron, Robert Dunsmuir.

How would you like to take care of 39 rooms and over 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2). Robert died in April 1889, 17 months before construction on the castle was completed.

Foul Bay Road

921 Foul Bay Road was not on the list of heritage homes. There was just something photogenic about this timber frame house on a hill.  Wow, what does it cost?

From here you could visit Abkhazi Garden already discussed in Voluptuous Victoria.

Chinese Cemetery

Chinese Cemetery, Victoria

Chinese Cemetery Tombstone, Victoria

Chinese immigrants were barred from cemeteries. So the same organization that built the Chinese School, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, purchased Harling Point and established the Chinese Cemetery in 1903.  Actually, Chinese used to ship their remains to their home village. But the Second World War and communist revolution ended that practice. There are 13 mass graves that hold the remains of circa 900 Chinese immigrants.

Victoria

Victoria

Trafalgar Park

Trafalgar Park is the next stop heading east into a much quieter part of the city.  From here continual along the coastal Beach Drive and through the Victoria Golf Course.

Oak Bay Marina

Oak Bay Marina provides another viewpoint and that summer it came with a piano.  In the Oak Bay neighbourhood you can find turn of the century homes. There is some interesting architecture.  We found web pages that provided specific addresses to see, such as Victoria’s Best Heritage Homes and Oak Bay Heritage Properties.  Just southwest you can visit James Stewart Clark House on 1086 St Louis St. with gabled brackets, Doric columns, leaded windows.

Glenlyon Norfolk School

Located at 1701 Beach Drive, this set of buildings dates from 1897 to 1910.  Note the leaded glass windows, Oriel windows, and magnificent stone work. The school buildings are just to the right of these residences.

Mount Tolmie Park

Continuing along Beach Drive, stop off at Cattle Point.  Drive west on Lansdowne Rd. then north.  At the top is a parking lot with a view. Crossing the road past the hill, there was a wide flat concrete platform. It turns out this a remnant of defenses from World War II. There in the distance was Mt. Baker in Washington state about 77 km by air.

This would be a spectacular view if this volcano ever erupted. Mt. Baker may be the biggest threat to Vancouver and Southern BC.

From Mount Tolmie we visited Finnerty Gardens in close-by University of Victoria.  It had mainly trees rather than flowers.

Mt. Doug

We drove north on Shelbourne St. right to a small parking lot on top of Mt. Doug.  There is only a limited view from here. You have to climb the steep hills on either side of the road.  On the south side the short trail climbs to the microwave tower offering views of the city and the Olympic Mountains.

The steep stairs and longer trail on the north side offer the more spectacular view above. There is something special about bays studded with islands. It turns out that these are Salt Spring, Pender and San Juan Islands. The Saanich Peninsula is on the left.  The near sunset lighting also was special.

Tarkeshwar Mahadev Temple-

Tarkeshwar got the name from an Asur (demon) named Tarkasur who was in immense meditation at this place to please Lord Shiva for availing a boon of immortality which the Lord agreed to but said only his son could kill him and once the boon was granted, he started threatening gods and soon turned evil and to stop this act of his, Lord Karthikeya killed him but at the time of his death, he begged Lord Shiva for pardoning him and that’s how the name got attached to the temple’s name. This temple is located nearly at an altitude of 2000metres.

Tiffin Top-

Tiffin Top is a picnic spot located on the mountaintop nearly at an altitude of 2000metres besides St. Mary Church making it an ideal weekend getaway for family and friends. There is a sunset point at a little higher level that which is truly cherishing on sighting the large ball of fire hiding amidst the snow-capped peaks. Just amazing!

St. Mary’s Church-

Located near the Tiffin Top at a distance of 2.5km from Lansdowne Market, St. Mary Church is an Anglican church that was built in 1896 but due to some reasons it was closed in the year 1947and was later turned to a museum by the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre. You can take a tour inside watch a ten minutes documentary on the history of Lansdowne and Garhwal Rifles.

So, before it’s too late head to this destination!
