Thanks for stopping by for a visit. We visited the Japanese tea garden when we visited SF! The photo is lovely and so peaceful looking. We have a heron that flies by our house every summer on the way to and from the recharge pond down the irrigation ditch (canal).

Easy to write a small book about ... thank you for this nice photography. Wearing "them" in ink after an accident, makes them indeed birds of life for me. Please have a wonderful Sunday.
This is one of the most beautiful pictures I've sen in quite awhile. I like this one a lot. And the place looks very beautiful. It must be fantastic to be there.
Barb, thank you and it was a pleasure visiting you.
Kass, exactly, I was hearing this call, KKKAAASSS that must have been for you :D
Ratty, it's got that Japanese zen feel to it, it's very quiet and beautiful. Though now is when the tourists start to descend on all of these gardens so it's a little less quiet.
Eg, thank you so much.
Jennifer, :) you caught it. They are not real, they are steel sculptures.
Squirrel, that's what I liked most, the reflections.
Ancient digger, you caught it too :) they are sculptures.
Vanilla, they are sculptures though so well done, they do look real.
Jane, thank you, you are very welcome.
Paula, thanks so much for visiting and commenting.
Beverley, thanks so much
Glynis, thank you and great idea :)
Lisa, thank you very much for your kind words.
Icy, Thanks alot and hope you had a great weekend.
Michelle, Mrs.M, Thanks for your kind compliments xoxo
Old Chinese proverb - If you want to be happy all your life, plant a garden. Photos Taken @ The SF Botanical Gardens Click Photos To Enlarge I won't be posting much on this blog if at all in the next couple of weeks so I wanted to leave you with some garden photos. Enjoy!
All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...
