I'd
been hearing raves about the tulip display at Butchart Gardens and
finally made it out there for the tail end of the show. It was a sunny,
warm Sunday and, unlike normal times, there were few visitors. No tour
buses bringing hoards off the cruise ships and only locals for the most
part. Quite a treat. Though the tulips were no longer at their peak,
it was still pretty spectacular.
This is a common wall lizard and is an invasive species. Here on the island, they originated at Rudy's Pet Park in Saanich near Butchart Garden. They eat bees and bumble bees are are therefore a serious problem.
