Garden Visit

 

Over the weekend, I realized that I hadn't been to the Japanese Friendship Garden in a long time so I took a walk there on Saturday morning.  The garden looked a bit different in several areas with a few new plants and others were gone.  

The crepe myrtle trees were blooming and showing off these red (and a few white) clusters of blooms.  I was surprised by all the unexpected 'bokeh' in this shot when I downloaded it.  

There was a large patch of lilies on one area.  I must have taken dozen photos of all the pretty blooms.  I found them so appealing.

My favorite sighting were these adorable little ducklings.  There weren't many ducks around while I was there so I was surprised when I spotted these two little ones along with an attentive mother near by.  They were relaxing in the cool grass while their mother did a little foraging.

Nice one. You have to be there at the right time of year to see the Lilies and the baby ducks.

What a lovely place for a duckling to grow up, Sharon.

It was a good decision to pass by that park.

The ducklings looks so content and they have a beautiful garden to explore.

Adorable ducks! I like those types of daylilies, with the single blooms. (Ours are triples -- we didn't plant them.)
