Two weeks ago, Jude and I were in Victoria, BC for three days. This is a delightful town, and as many know, is the home of Steve Ashton, otherwise known as the Wizard of BC. First day was spent in Butchart Gardens. Now I'm not much of a grden person, but this was my treat to Jude. The gardens are only 55 acres, but what they have there blew me away. I took over 120 photos in the gardens, so here are just a few to give you a flavor.

Looking down into the quarry, which was the start of the Gardens, over 100 years ago;



They are putting in a carousel, this is what one of the rides will be.



All the flowering trees were in bloom



Typical bed of flowers



A view down into the gardens



The colors were amazing





The rose garden is just budding out but this gives an idea of how extensive that section is.



Reached the image limit for this post, so more to come.
