Butchart Gardens is one of Victoria's defining tourist attractions, and proves a wonderful subject to photograph. This album skims through the major gardens within the Gardens, and hopefully, sparks some interest in the viewer to visit. Trust me, it's worth it.
Enjoy!

Connected, but alone. . . The Discussion
Turkle’s discussion on society’s need for
controlled connection is insightful. Her argument that texting allows people to
have relationships at arm's-length demonstrates a harsh truth. People
frequently hide behind screens, devising a perfect response instead of natural one,
degrading their communication skills. Her idea that personal growth and
relationships are aided through talking in real-time becomes logical.
That being said, she generalises in saying people
want to connect with each other but without commitments; it depends on the
relationship. If the people truly care, they will make time for each other face
to face, online or off.
