Butchart Gardens Fireworks














Ryan and I treated his Dad and Step-mom to an evening out at Butchart. The fireworks were very similar to the show we saw several years ago. Still very good though. We enjoyed the walk through the gardens and I tried my hand at photographing some blooms. My friend Sarah takes great flower pics, and she inspired me to keep trying. I really like the multicoloured cluster flower - whatever it's called!

Good Job on the flowers Bev! The trick to good flower shots is to open up your aperture as wide as you can (small F stop) to decrease your depth-of-field and really isolate your subject....

I have some wonderful memories of going to Butchart gardens with my mom many years ago. It looks just as lovely now. You took some AMAZING flower pictures. Love the clarity and detail of the white one!
