We flew to Vancouver, British Columbia, rented a car, then found our way to the ferry to take us to Vancouver Island.
Ken had scheduled for us to stay in a Bed and Breakfast there. It was such a nice place in the basement of the owner's home: living room, kitchen, two large bedrooms and bath. We went out to dinner that evening at a local cafe. I had fish and chips and Ken had his favorite liver and onions. We had a good night's sleep in our fine accommodations.
We checked out and made our way to Butchart Gardens. What a beautiful day it was!
Take a walk through the beautiful gardens with us:
 |
| This was an especially beautiful, peaceful spot. |
Being among all of that beauty was so peaceful and calming. I noticed something unexpected: I counted five different people that I heard singing or humming as they strolled. One of them was being silly, mimicking Tiny Tim in "Tiptoe through the Tulips" but most were just feeling peace and joy. I think the beauty brought out song. Isn't that interesting?
 |
| I was really drawn to these little button flowers. Ken told me the name, but I can't remember. |
 |
| Even the garbage cans were covered in flowers. |
 |
| Japanese Garden |
 |
| I like to leave all of these pictures on my phone and just scroll through and enjoy them every so often. |

It was all so beautiful. We saw the whole thing in about three hours. When we finished, we shared a sandwich for lunch at the coffee shop, then made our way back to the ferry to go back to Vancouver.
