Butchart Gardens part 2: The Sunken Garden

When we reached the Sunken Garden it was like stepping into a completely different world. Overwhelmingly beautiful.

Lukasz isn't too sure about that lady's outfit.

Hello Babcia, Ciocia Natalya and Lukasz! They took the low road and the rest of us went around the higher way to keep Dziadek company while he pushed the stroller to the other end. This path afforded us an amazing birds' eye view of the garden, and later we walked back through it on the lower path.

This fountain is at the far end of the Sunken Garden.
The jets keep changing, which is neat to see.

Me and Lukasz at the fountain. Many thanks to Ciocia Natalya and Wujek Daniel for taking so many great photos of our family. It's not often I'm actually in a photo. :)

Tatus and Lily climbing to the look out. Lukasz and I went up too, Lukasz climbed those stairs all by himself.

There they are... you can just see Tatus' orange t-shirt.
