Monday. First visit of the season to see what's new, what's growing at the moment. Disappointed to see the Japanese Maple is gone from the fountain area. The tulips have just come up -- quite a few have opened, but it looks like most will open within the next few days. The blossoms on the trees have just started -- only a few buds here and there. Some of the lilacs have budded as well. On the whole though, things are just getting started. It's nice to see all the green!

  2. I think I saw a Japanese Maple over by the sunken rock garden- either they moved it or I never noticed it? The garden is quite lovely right now, great shots! If you're interested I'd love to meet you there sometime, I'm always interested in going with another photographer. :)

    1. Hi Caitlin! I'll have to check that on the next visit - I didn't wander through the rock garden. I hope it's still there - it's one of my favourites. I'd love to meet you and have a photo-outing! My email addy is up at the top of the page - shoot me an email and we can make plans. :D
