Japanese Garden Tour

The Japanese Garden is very pretty all year as it cycles through the seasons, but right now it’s decked out in autumn loveliness.

The koi are still active although they’re beginning to slow down and will soon go into dormancy.

Japanese Garden

20 Comments

Penticton’s lovely little Japanese garden isn’t showing yet many signs of autumn, but there’s something about the fading of the colours that are signalling it.

The trees on the adjacent path also seem to be indicating the same.

But right now, the weather is wonderful and there’s no forest fire smoke, so I plan to enjoy it as much as possible.

Happy Tuesday.

Japanese Garden Stroll

14 Comments

We took a walk through Penticton’s Japanese Garden.

The water level in the pond had dropped a lot; not surprising considering how dry August was.

We stopped to take a look at the many colourful koi. They expected us to feed them and swam eagerly to the pond’s edge.

Some of them are quite large!

This is a very tranquil garden on the edge of Lake Okanagan; such a beautiful spot.

Happy Thursday.
