be prepared
Just as I said I might be, I was in Victoria over the weekend. It was beautiful for the most part and I saw a lot of cool things. Of course, I took Anja with me. She didn't get very much camera time last weekend so I had to make it up to her. Hopefully this update will make up for my lack of substance lately. Be warned: there are a lot of pictures!
These were on the ferry ride over to the island.
We went to the House of Wax, and there was a whole room of Disney characters... I couldn't resist!
The next few photos were very illegal. The 'castle' we were in allowed photography, but we weren't supposed to touch anything. I figured that I wasn't reeeally touching anything... it was the doll, honestly!
The rest of the pictures are from the Butchart Gardens... mostly from the Japanese garden. It was so beautiful there! I could have spent all day taking pictures, but we were only there for a couple of hours.
Even though I had Anja out of my purse for most of the weekend, the people at the gardens were the only ones who commented. I had probably ten or twelve people say something about her, and two different women actually stopped me and asked what she was/where she was from/why I was taking pictures. The second one even held her for a moment and said that she was really pretty! I was shocked that more people didn't call her creepy :)
I felt bad at some points because I felt like I was in the way of people who wanted shots of just flowers, but most people seemed more curious than angry that I was in their way.
Would you believe that I took more than 100 doll shots over the weekend? And that's not including the bad ones that I deleted on the spot... the 100 are the ones that I kept!
