Two fab, local #Nanaimo small businesses operate out of this converted, former #TrainStation located on Selby St., beside the #ENRailTrail / former #TrainTracks. Black Rabbit Restaurant & White Rabbit Coffee Community.
Cool mixed businesses - both offer local made foods/drinks & showcase local artists.

Black Rabbit Restaurant is more than a restaurant. It's also home to The General Store, which sells/displays local art. It runs The #PostcardProject :

I did a quick #sepia edit to give it a #classic #timeless feel. This was shot about 2 years ago.

I thought this #unedited shot of the #SaywardValleyResort office building, through front windshield of rental car, while wet snow fell - looked like an oil painting.

Looking forward to Spring & warmer temps! I want to take my little boat out again & do more fishing 🥰 I read a lot, while waiting for fish to bite my line.

#Photo #memories from #ButterflyGardens in #VictoriaBC 🥰 One of my fave places to go in rainy weather. I've taken many different friends here, over the time it's been open. This is from 2020.

The last time Victoria saw this much #snow was on December 21, 2008. The Weather Network says 35 centimetres fell at the airport that day, snarling air travel in and out of Victoria International.

For those seeking #refuge from the conditions, the Greater Victoria Coalition to End #Homelessness said a #WarmingCentre is open at the St. John the Divine Anglican Church (1611 Quadra St.). The church will also operate as an #overnight warming centre until 8 a.m. on Wednesday, #CityOfVictoria said.
