During the Easter period, I accompanied my mother on a stroll and light exercise in the garden. As is often the case, the grounds were bustling with activity. The foliage had not yet taken on its golden autumnal hues. I shall be away for the next fortnight, and thus may miss the opportunity to witness the full splendour of the season there. As the garden is open to the public without charge, it attracts a diverse array of visitors from various cultural backgrounds, many of whom gather for leisurely picnics.

Joel and I reminisced about our former schoolmates from high school, reflecting on the many friends we have lost since those days. It proved to be an enjoyable exercise in reliving memories of that time.
That is a beautiful place to take photos. I love the trees and the water and I love the shot of all the leaves on the water. Lush is the word that comes to mind looking at all that soft greenery.
ReplyDeleteI was there for autumn leaves lol. This year, winter arrival is late

I haven't been to the gardens for many years but they are so beautiful.
ReplyDelete...keep looking up!
ReplyDeleteThe longer you live, the more memories you will have. I hope you and Joel can share them for a long time. Your photos show the beauty of tree leaves both in the canopy above and in the water.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not really looking forward to that
DeleteSo much green, wonderful shots!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks more like Spring than Autumn, if you manage to take a photo when you turn around (idea) so you can see the difference!
Spring growth is more refreshing
