August 11, 2013 The Butchart Gardens, Victoria, Canada

Part of our trip to Victoria, Canada was a visit to The Butchart Gardens.  Take a look at their website....  The gardens are in a played-out limestone quarry, and now include the Sunken Garden, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, and the Italian Garden.  These pictures barely hint at the beauty of the place.  We spent 2-3 hours walking and looking and soaking up the beauty, and were sorry to leave!

Even in Canada they do purple & gold!  Geaux Tigers!
