The gardens are Government House in Victoria, BC are free to visit and stroll through. The flowers are tended to by volunteers. They do a beautiful job!

We went down to the waterfront for a walk along the beach at the water’s edge. It was gorgeous when we left our house – blue skies, sunshine and 12 degrees! When we got to the water it was cold and a weird, thick, wall of fog rolled in, but just where we were walking. By the time we returned home…blue skies and sunshine once again! (In the fourth shot i played with the filters to get that vibrant blue- it’s what I had hoped to see on our walk, but it wasn’t really like that while we were there…)
