Here is a little photo tour to give you just a taste of the trails and visual feasts at this little patch of serenity. Every time I visit the Garden I wonder why I don’t go back more often. Isn’t that the way it is though? We will scrimp and save to visit some far off exotic place and neglect the things that are right in our own back yard. The very places that someone in a far off place is scrimping and saving to come and see. Charles Buell
Along with the Conservatory (and not too far from each other), there is another very cool place in Seattle to visit---whether you are playing tourist or live here all the time---called the Japanese Garden, at the Washington Park Arboretum.

My WORDLESS WEDNESDAY pictures and some selected POEMS & STORIES.
beautiful photos.... thank you.
I haven't been to Seattle's Japanese Garden in years. Portland has a lovely one as well. Beaautiful photos, Charles. Thanks for sharing!
Alan, thanks
Marcy, thanks----I will have to put Portland's on my list.
Mr Charles,
Had you taken some time, and put some effort into this, it seems to me that you could have put in a very pretty photo of a squirrel working there.

I've been to Seattle and I can definitely say, it's a beautiful city.
Your photos just confirms it one more time.
Charles, I have been AWOL due to a project so coming back today I went to leave a comment here and noticed a very interesting post just below this. So quickly I will say this is serene and I agree with exploring near home. Case in point, you know how much we like Red Rock!
Now off to a Wallenda Report below. I'm sure I will have a comment to leave there also.
I haven't been to the Japanese Garden since I was a kid with my dad, thanks for the memmories Charles!
What a great day to be alive!

Hi, Charles. WOW...what a wonderful place! I especially enjoyed the picture of the turtles! And the koi.
Nutsy---does not compute
Kate, yes I do know what you mean about Red Rock.
Paul, you are welcome, my pleasure
Leslie, yup---a really wonderful place.
Craig---wasn't ignoring you----come visit again!
Charles, love the photos, especially the one with the turtles...precious. It is so true, we so often neglect to visit our own city/state sites.
Very nice photos. Looks like a beautiful place!
Rebecca, the turtles were out getting their last sun for the year no doubt
Amy, thanks---very beautiful
Very kindly,
Croakster
I love this place..thanks for reminding me that I need to go back!!!
Croakster---didn't see any frogs but I did see this cool crayfish:)
David, thanks for stopping by---beautiful time of year to check it out again!
