Thanks to all. I don’t know how you plan to travel to the garden, Brent. We spent Saturday night in Richmond, BC, a bit South of the Vancouver airport. We took the 7:00 am ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, and got to the gardens just as they were opening. I rushed over to this spot, and was lucky enough to be the first one there. So I managed to get the shot with no other people in the image.

Very nicely captured Charlie! I will be standing in that same spot four days from now- hope you saved some tulips for me :-)

What a beautiful garden! We were already planning on visiting Butchart Gardens when our cruise ship stops in Victoria BC and after seeing this, I'm looking forward to it even more! CJ

Many thanks. It was a beautiful day. We have visited this garden once or twice a year ever since we moved to Seattle in 2000. But this was the earliest we have been. We were rewarded with hyacinth and tulips that are not around later in the year.

Beautifully done HDR - bravo! This presents Butchart Gardens just as I remember it many years ago - gorgeous, perfectly manicured, and with lots of bright color patches amongst the plethera of green. Have you visited during different seasons?

Wow, Charlie, that is one impressive - and very beautiful! - garden. It must be such a delight to visit, stroll, relax, enjoy such a perfect place for a quiet moment. Thanks for a super photograph! Regards Nico
