I visited there 2 years ago, but our cruise ship got into Victoria at 6 p.m. and by the time we arrived at the gardens, it was 8:30 p.m. Luckily, the gardens are lit at night and we could still enjoy walking through the gardens in the dark. But I have always hoped to go back and be able to experience the gardens in the daylight. At night, the colors of the flowers are just not as vivid. So thank you so much, Bonnie, for allowing us to experience this garden's daylight delights. If I never make it back there, at least I got to enjoy it 2nd hand through your photos.

I arrived home around 1:00 a.m. Only one animal to greet me and that was Bella one of my daughters 3 cats (and the only animal who is allowed to roam the house at night). My body does not know what time zone it is in! LOL But glad to have made the trip. Thank you for the video of Butchart Gardens. It would be nice to go back and visit Victoria and Seattle on their own!Marilyn L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03063734844949284052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-38061126988983986792016-07-16T14:00:48.772-04:002016-07-16T14:00:48.772-04:00I can only imagine the smells coming from all thos...I can only imagine the smells coming from all those beautiful flowers had to be as wonderful as what you could see.

Magical place, but most of my panoramic photos have people in them - it was very crowded! There were fireworks at the end of the evening, but we mostly saw them while boarding the bus back to the ship (and we were late due to traffic, thank goodness we were on a ship-arranged tour). We had set sail before I got back ro my room! So fun to watch from the balcony. <br /><br />Take it easy these few days at home. We won't mind if leaders and enders doesn't get posted before you leave again. Heck, I still have lots of tumblers to sew. LOL<br /><br />PatPalmerGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562016938587470501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12080975879767512462016-07-16T13:25:39.298-04:002016-07-16T13:25:39.298-04:00Thank you for giving us a little trip too!
