13 great iPhotos Japanese Gardens

September 12, 2013

HI.

We visited the Nkka Yuko  Japnese Garden earlier in the week.  Being here in the middle of the city it was surprising how quiet, cam, peaceful and serene it was.  The garden was amazing and  have come to believe that gardens are my favorite place to visit.

As we left we noticed many young ladies with their babies and strollers walking along the sidewalk in front of the gardens.  It is obviously a safe and good place to walk. It is actually a large park in the middle of Lethridge and this is only  small part.

Such beauty and balance was hard to leave.

Tomorrow we leave for Banff and Lake Louise.  

Later.
