Butchart Gardens

We visited Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia which is near Victoria, BC over the summer last year.

David has been planning to plant a little tree or bush in front of his house. 
He wants it to be like this one.


I have a plant like this one back home - the trumpet plant.


David cannot contain his admiration over the blue hydrangea. 
He has been looking for one at the public market to plant in front of his house.





I love the sunflowers.  They tower over me.





The path leading to the rose and Japanese gardens.





David finding his zen.





The bridge of love.








At the French-style garden.


 The magnificent sunken garden.

Craigdarroch Castle, Victoria BC

Craigdarroch Castle is a magnificent Victorian-type castle in Victoria, British Columbia. 

David is planning to build a house like this one if the stock exchange rates
go up and up and up.



There's my craft room!



 



Sarah Palin was here?





Pre-Project Runway era. Look at those pedals!
