Photos from the Japanese and Rose Gardens.

First, Japanese Gardens:

A view of the water from a sheltered point. A lantern from the same vantage. And Reflections on the upper pond of the strolling pond garden.

Also from the Gardens, some closeups of flowers.

And one wide view of part of the Rose Garden. And a couple of closeups of roses, and one bud.

That first pic was incredible. I loved it! You have a real eye for framing and finding the unusual angle. It probably makes it a little easier that the Gardens are so very beautiful. And yesterday had that perfect overcast to the sky. It made the light on everything really diffuse but still bright. Great pix!

*blushes and smiles* Thank you!

Beautiful pictures, as usual. I love your work, especially in the Japanese Gardens. I especially enjoyed the shot of the lantern and the trees. :)

Thank you!

Pretty, pretty! Love the lantern shot!

*beams* Thank you! It was such an odd angle and view - but I rather liked it. I'm just glad one of them worked (the lighting was a bit fun).

You have a larger version of that one available? It would make a lovely change of desktop background for a while. :)

I do indeed!

Follow the link back to Flickr and click "View different sizes" (which is a small link in the right-hand column). The original that I uploaded is the largest one I have. (For some photos, I upload a smaller photo, which is what Flickr takes for the "original" - but I was lazy and not too concerned with this batch.)

Personally, I think the original looks blurred and blown out in places, where the smaller one doesn't show that failing. The large is iffy, but not as bad.

Lovely! :)

I know I've said this before but I really wish I had a Japanese garden around here somewhere.
