Beacon Hill Park, is home to many Great Blue Herons. Watch them
as they nest, through a webcam perched high on the 12th floor
of an apartment building on Douglas Street in beautiful downtown
Victoria, BC, Canada. From www.HeronCam.com...This

The "Best" Nightime shot from our patio... Taken by Matthew
while everyone else slept! You should've seen the furniture stacked
up outside on the patio as a tripod...everything from the kitchen
chairs to the coffee table...but, the result is (if he sez so himself)
"Spectacular!"

Here are a few things that we
"know" we will get around to! Plans change, but keep
an eye here for images of our trip to Victoria... |
|
|
|
|
|
It's springtime in British Columbia...What
trip wouldn't be complete without a trip to Butchart
Gardens? |
|
|
|
|
|
Bob is getting his "loonies"
(Canadian quarters) ready for the slot machines at the View
Royal Casino. |
|
|
|
|
|
Another Whale
Watch? Mom is thinking that it might be a great idea! |
|
|
|
|
|
Getting Bob on the ferry to Victoria
(the Victoria Clipper) was one thing...but, will he hop on the
Victoria
Harbor Ferry for a trip up the harbor for "High
Tea"? |
|
|
|
|
|
How many steps will we have to
climb? We'll let you know from the Craigdarroch
Castle..huffin' and puffin' all the way! |
|
|
|
|
|
Lots of shopping, and museums...
Especially the Royal
BC Museum. |
|

A contrast in transportation... The large car ferry kicks up
a wake for the small, harbour ferry.
|
The Big Blue Draw Bridge by our hotel room.
|

One for Greta.

|

Olna, Matt and Steve went to the BC Museum of Natural History.
Bob went, too, and learned lots by sitting in the car.
|

The Parliament Building, in all its glory.
|

A trip to Rogers Chocolates led to big smiles! Established in
1885, the chocolate factory was great!
|

This bear tries to keep Melayne from reaching for her Visa...AGAIN!

Matthew and Steve enjoying the Sales.
|

Queen Victoria peers over Melayne's shoulder at the Parliament
Building.
|

The Empress...and The Empress Hotel, along with Flags of Canada
and British Columbia.
|

Off to Butchart Gardens.
|

Although not quite the bloomin' season for Butchart, there was
plenty to see!
|

Olna loved the landscaping.
|

Beautiful fountains were found all around the Gardens.
|

We could only imagine what the Gardens looked like in full bloom.
|

Gorgeous hanging baskets and thousands of rose bushes...ready
for Spring.
