Butchart Gardens

So the other day, I decided to do a very touristy thing...I went to Butchart Gardens. For those of you who do not know about this place, it is a plot of land that some old rich mine-owners wife turned into a garden. There are paths and gardens with themes like traditional English rose gardens, Japanese, and Sunken
Garden (there are paths that circle above this garden and others that take you right through it).Armed with music, a book and my camera, I went on my
merry way. There were tons of people!.

Somehow I managed to get the
Karen-took-a-postcard pics
that I always somehow manage to get when I travel. Yes, I took these by myself,
I did not cheat by purchasing them at the gift shop. Please note: there are no
"Butchart Gardens" written on any of these, and yes I can provide the negatives
to prove I really did take the photos.
