My favorite kind of post -- where I just post lots of pictures with captions! And of course, the pictures didn't post in the order I selected them, and there are so many that I won't bother to move them around, which I find rather difficult to edit in blogspot.

| The iconic view of the Sunken Garden. Note the Trees of Life (arbor vitae) on the left, and the Old Chimney on the right. |
 |
| The Sunken Garden is in the old limestone quarry. |
 |
| There was sun, AND rain... |
 |
| The view around 1907?, Tod Inlet on the left with the wharf, the gardens will be at the center of the photo. |
 |
| We found our wedding colors! |
 |
| Garden maintenance is constant, but this seemed a little out of the ordinary! |
 |
| I'm not sure I've seen an Orca on a carousel before! Butchart dogs Winston and Bella were also featured. That's Bella behind the orca. |
 |
| The view across the Italian Garden, to the entrance to the Dining Room, where we had a superb lunch |
 |
| Al was especially amazed by the hedges. We were told the largest free-standing hedge in North America is here -- it's not this one. |
 |
| Captured raindrops |
 |
| I can see our dinghy at the dock on the left. This is the Butchart Cove access to the garden. An employee came for us on a golf cart and brought us to the visitor center to begin our visit. |
 |
| In the Japanese Garden, the bamboo would fill and dump with a thump! |
 |
| One of our favorite paths, with one of my favorite people upon it. |
