Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we are back for our June peek at Sasebo Japanese Garden.
Everything is so very green as we enter the Summer months....
The paths are nice and shady which is good. The temperatures have been getting in the 80s by 9AM, when Mama usually gets to the garden for her walks, and the New Mexico sun is brutal!
The peonies are coming to the end of their blooming cycle...but the pink petals still look pretty.
Here are a few views of the waterfall.
It is mostly in the shade now too.
These are some kind of pretty berries.
These beautiful yellow day lilies were everywhere!
Mama also found this deep purple wild iris (she thinks it may be a Louisiana Wild Iris).
Here is a short video of her walk:

We hope all our friends can get out and find some nature on this first official weekend of Summer.
Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE to go to our Hoppity Page.
Is that a tree peony Rosie - or the kind that grows from a tuber underground?
ReplyDeleteThese are most likely tree peonies...they grow on big bushes. But I couldn't say for sure. I'll give a look for some signage next time I'm there :-)

ReplyDeleteSo refreshing on a hot summer's day, right?! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
The flowers are all just beautiful and she especially loves the Louisiana Wild Iris and the waterfalls look so inviting!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty flowers. We are still on a roller coaster here. 90's one day, 60's the next and lots of rain days but everything is luscious green!
ReplyDeleteI do so vicariously enjoy your Japanese Garden tours!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Such a pretty place for a walk and a sniff! Well, I mean, your mom probably doesn't do a lot of sniffing there, at least not along the ground, but still ..."
ReplyDeleteNiece Rosy have I told you lately you are pretty in pink!!(and AC covets your lovely sun visor too)
ReplyDeleteThe waterfalls made me think of the commercial "Calgon Take me away". The royal purple wild iris stunning.
I hope you 4 have a love trip to the cooler temperatures.
Hugs and cuddles to you all

Its gorgeous and it is something I have never seen in real life, only in movies. I am living my travels through you and Yam
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden to visit. You are such a cutie too, Rosy. We're going to get some super hot weather this weekend so most of it will be spent inside in the cool AC.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video. Beautiful waterfalls!
