Someday I'll Get There

I received these pictures in an email a while ago. They were taken during the Fall at Butchart Gardens, Victoria, B.C. , Canada. The beauty of all of these colors in nature just takes my breath away. Someday I'll get there!

Butchart Gardens is most definitely on my "Place To See In My Lifetime" list. Someday...

Wow, it looks amazing. I've been to the National Botanic Garden in DC, but the colors aren't nearly this vibrant.

Nice country Canada. Nice people come from there too - even those born to women from Canada are wonderful.

Joan - Yep...someday.

Kelly Mahoney - I bet it looks even better in person.

Patches - The colors are vibrant...unfortunately for me, I don't know which trees are the Japenese Maples...sigh

Renee - I agree... it does look like a fairytale.

The Moose Buyer - You won't see me arguing with your logic;~)

Butchart Gardens is pretty but if you get a chance go to Vancouver and visit the Van Dusen Botancial garden. Way better.

Oh ok, yep, my neck of the woods, these gardens are amazing. These you definitely have to come and see. They are beautiful and every year they become more gorgeous! You can even get the seeds from the flowers there to grow in your own gardens from flowers and plants that you see there. It's soooooo pretty and smells so good.
