More butterflies

More pretty butterflies from the Butterfly Garden. These are the better, non-blurry pictures from the outing!

I'm getting over the illness that has hit our household. Hector had something slightly different with the cough lasting over 3 weeks now. Josh had a fever with cough which is almost gone and now me with general coughing, sore throat where I lost my voice for one day and sneezing. I keep asking Tyler how he feels each day and he's fine (so far). The next 2 weeks will be 'cold' watch.

Gardens and Butterflies

More from Canada...

Brandon, Lupe and I at the sunken garden portion of Butchart Gardens.

I think this was our second go around since we practically ran through the place because we only had 90 minutes. We came back to the sunken garden to see how the light changed for pictures.

It is very peaceful and pretty.

Butterflies from the Butterfly garden. Very warm and tropical inside and we spent our time chasing the butterflies to take the perfect pictures. Not easy.

Kat had a butterfly guide to identify the butterflies but I'm not very good at it. We spent a lot of time chasing a pretty blue butterfly that kept flitting about and when it landed, it would fold up its wings so the ugly brown camoflage part showed. Kat found a dead one in the bushes.
She also got some footage of a live blue butterfly that of course landed on my butt so I didn't get to see it!
