Glorious Japanese Gardens!
We’re taking a break from books I’ve enjoyed! This month, I’m doing a short photo essay today with some pictures I took when I recently visited the beautiful Japanese gardens at Brisbane’s Mount Coot-tha BotanicalGardens. Here’s a link to the site: https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/things-to-see-and-do/council-venues-and-precincts/parks/botanic-gardens-in-brisbane/brisbane-botanic-gardens-mt-coot-tha
The late Kenzo Ogata designed the gardens on the theme ‘tsuki-yama-chisen’ or ‘mountain-pond-stream’. It features the key elements of stone, water, ornaments, arbours, paths and vegetation. The beautiful pink-flowered tree is a Mexican trumpet tree. It looked spectacular in the early morning light next to the tranquil pool.
