Victoria

On Sunday morning we went to church with Shari Anderson at the First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue. What a great service and what a great message.

Then we packed up the motorhome and headed for the Olympic Peninsula in the rain. After settling the motorhome at the RV park we did a little wine tasting. Good wines made from grapes brought in from Eastern Washington.

On Monday morning we got up real early and caught the walk on ferry to the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. Our package included transportation to and tours of the Butterfly Gardens and Butchart Gardens.

The first stop was the Butterfly Gardens. A bonus was the variety of vegetation they had.

Blue Orchid

Blue Morpho Butterfly

Nice Butterfly (name?)

Atlas Moth

White Tree Nymph

Then we caught the bus to Butchart Gardens. I visited these gardens back in 1960 but they have changed a bit since then. I do remember the beautiful sunken gardens.

Sunken Gardens

The number of beautiful flowers is just amazing. How they keep them all blooming is a mystery to me.

Fuschia

Bee on a Flower

We got back to Port Angeles at about 7:30 PM and ready for supper after a great day.
