Places to visit on Vancouver Island ~ The Butchart Gardens

If your a photographer that likes flowers, plants or gardens then this is the place that you will never want to leave. In the last few years taking photos of flowers and fauna is not my first choice when deciding what to take a picture of but I was asked recently if I wanted to join a group of friends on a trip to capture the fall colors that are so prevalent at the gardens right now. I always keep an open mind and love to explore new places, plus the chance to have a great day of photography with friends, that all like taking pictures, is just not something I am willing to pass up. Spending quality time with like minded people is very enjoyable and rewarding. It will do wonders for your creativity and growth as a photographer.

The Butchart Gardens is a place that will not fail to please you just about any time of the year. Even if you are not a photographer I am sure you will absolutely love visiting. The gardens are immaculately maintained and offer some of the most peaceful and beautiful manicured scenery I have seen on the Island. For more information about the gardens go to their website.

Here is a gallery of some of the pictures I took during my visit. I want to thank my friends for inviting me to join them on their beautiful adventure.
