Happy Friday everyone. As always post any photos you like.
This months camera club outing was at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park. With the cherry trees in bloom right now it's a great time to visit the garden.
but I got no shots of it. Instead I've got something from Ireland, Powerscourt Gardens...their Japanese garden
Gardens are a joy...
Thanks for the photos!

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Your photo skills are amazing! Thanks for posting and sharing your art!
This is what is known as a sea chest, which I just rebuilt. It is designed to
make only one hole in the boat to feed several functions. Last rebuild it
10 years ago. Needed some work, plugged up with marine growth.
@QMS
10 years of use since the last rebuild on your sea chest sounds like some good longevity.

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.
Beautiful photos SP! Looks like a great place. Often Japanese Gardens have a good Koi pond too. There is a neat one just north of downtown San Antonio, adjacent to the zoo and Brackenridge Park. Maybe called Japanese Tea Garden formally but Sunken Garden was the common local name for it when we lived there. It was built in an old abandoned quarry, so a big hole. Which lent itself well to the Koi pond and provided great topography and relief to the garden itself. My pix of it are unscanned slides unfortunately...

thanks, since I was just down by the river with ye olde kodak that new phrase popped inside my head. Instead of bird watching now I go blurreding. lol
Such a lovely song, I just pointed at the sound and clicked. Sure enough it was a towhee, in fact this was my first bird identified all those years ago. Once I started I couldn't stop. LOL okay
And then I got lucky with a tufted titmouse, they are so friendly I love 'em.
That's a buckeye tree already leafed out. Nice and green.

I have a brown thumb so I don't even try to grow anything. It will just end up dead in real short order.

Thanks for hosting SP
Quite the garden.
Still snow on the ground here, with wind chill at -8F tonight. Ugh!
Gëzuar!!

Evening, BR
Just the thought of 8 below makes me shiver. Spring is only a week away. Hopefully warm days won't be far behind for you.

Hi, Lookout
Thanks for the link. 47 acres is a pretty good size garden. If I ever get to Ireland I'll have to check it out.

Dirt patch 22. I aint got no alibi.
Losing the garden has devastated my mental health, as if it needs more devastation.
water is life
life is beautiful
life is expensive
thank you dirt patch
Sorry to hear you lost your garden, eyo.
