Colors of A Different Season…
The intent of this is simply to brighten the spirits of some of you whose world is now gray and white and bleak and cold and wet and dark…

Went there two years ago and was absolutely blown away by the beauty of it all.
You did it…you did it….you brightened my spirits..and my space. Beautiful Winston…thanks.
Another cool banner….
Taken with an Infra-Red film? Or does it look like that to human eyes too?
The world is white and bleak and cold and wet just outside my window. Thanks for taking off the chill.
Beautiful! Are they azaleas/rhododendrons? We have a park near us that flowers like that - only in about May.
I just clicked through to their website to view the gallery there - looks like a wonderful place. Sure does does transport me to a brighter place than the view from the office window!
It worked for me.
I’ve been to Butchart Gardens. Twice, actually. Once with a lady friend, and once with my Mom. Lovely.
When I travel, I seek such places, Fairchild Tropical Gardens in South Miami, Leuw Gardens in Orlando, Madison Square Garden in New York. I love that botanical stuff.
Ahhh. Thanks. Things will be gray for us Minnesotans for a while.
Wow…that is awesome! All I see out my window is white…with bare brown trunks sticking out of the snow.
Absolutely marvelous!!!!!!!!! My son’s godfather and his family live in Vancouver. Think I should go house-guesting?
What a beautiful garden, Winston. I definitely envy the people who get to walk it’s lovely lovely grounds….
Beautiful and colorful landscaping, but Vancouver isn’t in the U.S. state of California, it’s in the Canadian province of British Columbia (and was at one time it’s own territory)
