Butchart Gardens

Eric was in heaven.

After crossing on the ferry and driving around Victoria very briefly we headed up to Butchart Gardens...we were very impressed. It was beautiful and the roses were in full bloom!!
We met a portrait photographer as were taking photos of Emma he suggested we leave her hair messy and let the sun shine in. Well since her hair wasn't done on this particular day the "messy hair" part was easy.
The background looks fake here, this is looking over the "Sunken Garden"...it used to be a quarry but when the mine dried up someone decided to turn it into a garden. It was beautiful.


We met up with the portrait photographer again and he took this shot for us...it turned out Okay, I just wish I had done my hair and make-up.






The rose garden was the highlight for Eric. He hopes one day to have a formal garden similar to this.

Japanese Garden....


We got Gelato at the end. It was yummy and I am told a lot better for you than ice cream.
