Butchart Gardens Jan. 15, 2010 - Outside

On the grounds

There was warmth in the sun. One could start to believe spring was here.

A sign of 'real' spring. We've also seen snowdrops blooming in our neighbourhood.

Two types of the fascinating Witch-hazel.

Except for staff, the carousel was completely empty so I got to ride on the RCMP horse (see top photo in 'The Rose Carousel' from Dec 1st).

  1. I'm still getting used to the short daylight hours here, but one thing I love are the long shadows - like in the picture of the trees above. Spring IS just around the corner, I can prove it with hay-fever sneezes and itchy eyes!

  2. I think you get quite a bit more rain there than here.
