What’s nice about Vancouver is that most places are only about twenty minutes away from one another. We had a spare half hour before our event for the evening so the beloved asked me what was the place I wanted to visit?

I had seen  Vandusen in its autumn glory; I wanted to see it in its spectacular winter illumination. He waited in the parking lot while I dashed in. Everybody happy!!! Yay!! Thank You!

The Christmas songs enhance the view of the poetic landscape adorned with colorful lights in the freezing winter air accompanied by rain! 🙂

Beautiful!!!  I prefer naked nature to see the flowers and foliage but it’s terrific how this award-winning gardens have been transformed into Winter Wonderland!!  The framework of nature can still be enjoyed as it is beautiful even when bare.
