Trees in Victoria

I'm afraid I went a bit nuts on the trees. They were just so big. And beautiful. And old. And sometimes mossy. Most of these pictures are from Butchart Gardens and Cathedral Grove.

I tried to capture the sheer size of the trees, but it was difficult.

Because the air is so moist you'll notice that many of the trees are covered in moss.

You'll also notice fallen trees, sometimes with their roots out of the ground. These fallen trees are all from Cathedral Grove.

I don't know but I think that some of God's most magnificent creations are the trees.














This growth is growing along the bark from a fallen tree.






These two trees are fallen from a different time. Not sure how this could even happen.






You can see the fallen tree with its root in the foreground.

Flowers are a present from God

We've now been back from Victoria for over three weeks. And it's all but a distant memory now. Well not really. But that sounded good I thought.

Anyway I still want to post a lot of pictures. I will do them by category I've decided.

Today is flowers. I couldn't post all my flower pictures even though I've posted a ton below. The flowers in Victoria are just so beautiful, it's hard to comprehend. Many of these ones are from Butchart Gardens. In fact I think they all are.

God was generous when he gave us these colourful fragrant pieces of nature to enjoy. What a thoughtful gift.
