Flowers And Birds

After dropping grand-daughter off at school this morning, I drove across town to visit Hamilton Gardens once again.  A new garden, the Picturesque Garden, was opened on Monday and I especially wanted to see it.  However, arriving early at the Gardens meant I was able to avoid the crowds and so I wandered around a lot more and thought I would write about what I saw today.  I will post about the new garden tomorrow.

There was a peacock making a dreadful noise in the Herb Garden.

The scarecrow in the Sustainable Backyard has been changed from the one I talked about a few days ago.  I don't think this one is nearly as nice.

There were frogs croaking in the waters of the Tropical Garden, but they were not visible.

White Fantail Pigeons were making reflections in the Japanese Garden Of Contemplation.

Delphiniums were flowering in the English Garden.

Foxgloves were under the trees on the edge of the Rhododendron Lawn.

Pink, white and yellow water-lilies are in full bloom on Turtle Lake.

Three different families of ducklings were taking an outing under Mama Duck’s chaperonage.

Altogether, I had a lovely morning strolling around the Gardens.  I hope your day has gone well too.

Back tomorrow,
Margaret.
