Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Back in December, when visiting the Botanical Garden for their River of Lights, Mama discovered a new part of the park she didn't know was there....the Sasebo Japanese Garden!
Mama came home gushing about how pretty the Garden was, even in the Winter. I let her know it would be a great garden for us to watch during the year and record the changes she sees. So here is our Winter look at this pretty part of the ABQ Botanic Garden.
When you walk into this section of the gardens, you are greeted by these sculptured hedges
To the right of the shrubbery is this beautiful bell tower
The biggest feature of the Japanese Garden is a beautiful waterfall and koi pond.
Mama didn't see any koi, but she did spy this lovely bridge
I don't know about you Rosy, but I can't wait to see this part of the garden in the Spring!!
Me neither Sunny, if it's this pretty in the Winter....I bet it is breathtaking with all the trees blooming!
Can you see the iceburgs on either side of the bottom left and right of the waterfall, how cool is that!
Mama walked along the trail next to the falls and saw this beautiful stone pagoda!
From the sun playing on the Winter leaves of Japanese Maple
...to the Bamboo lining the path back to the main park,
we can't wait to see how the seasons unfold an the Sasebo Japanese Garden!
Mama made a little video so you could see(and hear) how beautiful this part of the park is!
