The beach as seen from the rental in Northeast Victoria. That's Washington in the background (if it was clearer you could see Rainer).
	Looking south along the beach.
	The stone/sand beach full of driftwood, characteristic of BC beaches.
	Northward view of the beach. The island seen on the far right was a former leper colony of Vancouver Island.
	The capital of British Columbia. I'm pretty sure there's not a state in the union that can beat the provice of BC for best capital.
	The lawn of the BC capital. Clearly full of field-trippers. In the background one can see the Empress Hotel and some of the downtown buildings.
	The Fairmont Empress Hotel, situated centrally in the harbor. Built in 1904. All full of British splendor and whatnot.
	The Empress in profile, along with a crowd of multinational tourists.
	A view of the sunken garden at the Butchart Gardens. As Victoria is "The Garden City", so the BG are the central garden. The sunken garden here sits on the site of a former limestone query.
	The BC harbor, with capital in the background.
	The harbor, again, seen from the other direction. The Empress would be to your right.
	The home we rented. The decorating scheme, though eclectic, showed much taste. Overall, a very nice house.
	A view of the house from the beach. Gotta love that.
	The italian garden of the Butchart Gardens. Mrs. Butchart tore up the tennis courts to put this in while Mr. Butchart ran late on a business trip.
	The Ross Fountain! Gotta love that. Located at the far end of the sunken garden, at the low end of the former limestone pit.
	The Richardsons/Wambaughs at tea. And being tea in BC, it was full of sugar.
