Walk through Butchart Gardens
A walk through Butchart Gardens near Victoria, BC, Canada on a beautiful Spring day was totally delightful.
I felt like the pictures would speak today for me.
The gardens just took my breathe away.
Thank you for letting me join your walk. We were there years ago, and it still remains fresh in my memory. What a BEAUTIFUL place that everyone should see.
Your photos of the beautiful Butchart Gardens are great. I loved seeing the totem poles, espalier vines, water features, etc. and all the beautiful flowering plants.
I've spent way too much time on your blog this morning and enjoyed every minute! The lovely gardens, tea at the Empress and your Canon Rebel adventures. Did you sit in that chair by the sea? With a wonderful book?
Thank you for the walk-about, Marilyn! This did my spirit good, for it has been chilly, gray and rainy for some days here...not at all spring-like or blooming! That white cascade of wisteria is breathtaking...*swoon*... Happy Day :o) ((HUGS))
Breathtakingly beautiful... this is exactly the sort of image I have of Victoria. I always have this strong desire to inhale and reach out to touch with visuals as powerfully evocative as these. Thank you for sharing!
Love, love, love Butchart Gardens! Haven't been in years; now I have a yen to return! Thanks for the beautiful photos, especially that macro of the magnolia!
Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me.

Oh man, am I ever jealous!!! I could do a month's worth of post just on the pictures alone. I will have to go back and ponder each one.
The gardens are gorgeous. Our daffodils are just starting to bud out.

What a beautiful place. I haven't been there in years and remember it as wonderful. Thanks for taking us along.
Oh my, these are amazing! A friend of mine has praised Butchart Gardens and now I can see why!
So many gorgeous images. But that magnolia!
