We were in Victoria August 3rd and left August 6th. I mentioned it to you when we spoke on the phone but you had to work. You probably don't remember because you were pretty stressed out with Max. I would have loved to meet you too. Maybe someday we will get to meet. We really need to have a West Coast meeting somewhere.

So sorry, yes I was kind of stressed out and I did have to work - but my short term memory is not what it should be. One fine day.

I agree!! I am not far from Victoria either, and LOVE the city. I go there often for a mini staycation since I have accomodations there! It is also my birth town, as well as my dad's and my grandmother's! It holds a special place in my heart

Oh this wakes wonderful memories of when I was in Victoria about 10 years ago. I loved Butchart gardens- but I have been there earlier in the year so there is a wonderful note of autumn in the air now in your pictures.
And I remember Craigdarroch castle- more medieval than the middle ages ever were
I never saw the parliament building with all the lights- I wonder whether they did that ten years ago- it looks fantastic.
What I remember very well is the Royal BC museum which I loved. Victoria is a wonderful place.

Oh boy Cindy, that is definitely the era I would love to have lived! I love the architecture, the clothes, the manner, everything! And castles yet! You did a wonderful job at taking pix, too, better than any I could've taken. It looks like you had a wonderful vacation and on a motorcycle yet. How lucky can a gal get?!

Those are gorgeous pictures. Victoria is such a beautiful city. Pretty handy with a camera, I noticed you even captured the bee on the flower.

Your flower pictures remind me of the pictures I took at Monet's house in France. I'll have to tell my sister about those castles. She and her husband love castles.

Ahh, someone noticed. I was going to point it out. The bee is blurry though. And I am not handy with the camera. It's called luck! I only have a cheapo point and shoot camera. I really thought most of these pictures would be blurry because I was holding the camera out with one hand and when I pressed the button I thought the camera moved. But many of them came out perfect. I especially like the ones where you can see the water drops on the petals. Oh, I just looked back and the only one you can see water drops on is the pink/white one. Oh well, there were many more. LOL
