VanDusen Festival of Lights

On December 15th, Delle and I went to the Festival of Lights at the VanDusen Gardens in Vancouver.  We had attempted to go another night but had arrived to find such long line-ups that we had driven away.  This time we arrived really early, beat the rush, and had a lovely time wandering around the gardens before it got too busy.

We oohed and aahed at the millions of twinkling lights, listened to Christmas carols, watched the performance of some amusing gnomes with very fake German accents, drank hot apple cider, munched on kettle corn, and generally had a very nice time!

These photos were taken on my little digital camera and definitely can't do it justice.  In real life the lights were absolutely magical!
