is a visual feast.
As tree leaves turn,
flowers burn,
triumphant,
in their in their fall finale.
An autumnal pageant,
before winter sleep.
Cheers to you from the Butchart Gardens in Victoria Canada~
Beautiful photos. My son and daughter-in-law visited the gardens and the pictures they brought back with them were stunning. I’m not sure there is a more beautiful garden anywhere.
While it is only a 1/2 hour drive and two-hour ferry ride away, I have to admit I haven’t been to Butchart since I was a kid and went with my family. I have to add that to my list of must-do’s! Thank you for showing why it is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world!
It is incredibly lovely and so is the ferry ride as you know better than I! We all have a tendency to overlook places close to us. I have seen posts about places 1/2 hour from me photographed and described and thought, I should go there! Laughing……
Butchart Gardens….., another fairyland place, Cindy. Was there several years ago. Good to see that it’s still as beautiful as I remember it. Thanks for bringing those visions back to me. 🙂 Hugs !
