THE SUNKEN GARDEN - BUTCHART'S GARDENS, VICTORIA

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 24 February 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The sunken garden is a deeper part of the quarry that Butchart's Gardens were built in. From the top I could not get enough detail, with the lens I had, of flowers etc. down below. This was taken before going down tons of steps into the garden - it just gives an idea of the layout - which is much, much larger than I could capture here. I have seen photos taken in spring and summer and it is absolutely gorgeous. Here, they were in the process of changing over the flowers and color schemes to autumn and winter flowers and colors.

Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
