After going through 300 pictures, I finally settled on some pictures I wanted to share.

The garden outside our bed and breakfast:

Gardens on top of the buildings:

A view of the bay just a couple of blocks away from the bed and breakfast.


On the way up to Whister where they will have part of the 2010 Olympics - major road work getting ready.

Sorry - Vancouver in Canada. For some place so much farther north, it is quite temperate and reminded me of when we were in England.

Beautiful photos!


I still have a postcard of Butchard Gardens on my fridge from when my parents and sister visited Vancouver! I would have loved to have gone with them as it certainly looks like a beautiful place!

I'm glad you enjoyed my part of the world -- seems your camera is attracted to the same things mine is!

Lovely photos. DH (fiance at the time) took me to Victoria for my birthday just prior to our wedding. Time to go back

Fabulous photos! I feel so dumb, we live so close to Vancouver and Victoria, and I've never been. The closest I've been to victoria was sailing into Nanaimo with friends when they sailed the Gulf Islands, when I was in Jr. High school. The closest I get to Vancouver is the occasional delivery run to one of our customers in Delta. One of these days we just gotta grab the camera and go.

Vancouver B.C. and New Orleans are (was) my two favorite cities in North America, with Montreal and Austin, Texas, close behind but Vancouver rocks!!!!! I'm just outside Seattle and I couldn't wait to see these photos and I k new where every place was, for the most part. I never get tired of Vancouver - it also makes Seattle seem dreary and plastic in comparison.

Hey! Anybody's coming this way? Let me know. I can't guarantee to be available, but I'm sure going to try.


ETA: Hi, E!

Thought: Do we want to try and do a Pacific Northwest meet? I'd be tickled if we could do it here. If there's interest, we can start another thread, and not hijack Jana's!
