The Butchart Gardens in Canada

Entrance to the gardens which are 100 years old.

Part of the Italian Gardens.
The sunken gardens that were once a quarry and the inspiration for the gardens.


Sunken Gardens



Riding on the ferry from Tawassen to Schwartz Bay on Vancouver Island through the Gulf Islands which have nothing to do with a gulf.




Butchart Gardens


The hanging gardens.

Part of the rose garden. This does not do it justice. There are over 6,000 rose bushes.
This is one huge hanging basket!


VHA Seattle trip

Here we are on the Argosy Cruise from Union Lake to the sound through the locks. It was loads of fun.
The Seattle skyline. We are coming into pier 55.

This is as close as I got to the 5th Avenue theater. I took this for Bethany.



In the flower market at Pike's. Can you believe that bouquet is only five dollars? The hotel gave me a vase so that I could have it in our room. I left mine, but Becky Dobbins took hers all the way home to Louisiana on the plane!
