DALLAS

“All good things are wild and free –  I just couldn’t help myself. I know I’ve taken this shot too many times, but the California poppies were just out of this world today! We were lounging in the flowers looking out to sea and were lucky enough to see two separate pods or orcas. They were only a few hundred yards offshore. Today was a great day…”

 

We don’t know about you, but we’ve thoroughly enjoyed this visual journey through 2018. The year isn’t over yet though, so keep tagging #ExploreVictoria and we’ll keep adding more favourites!
