    A good water feature is not only a delight to behold but a joy to hear.

      The sound is rather relaxing isn’t it? My neighbours have a small fountain which I can hear as I sit and type (when the window is open).

    We’re having a heat wave in Toronto. I would love to stand next to the young girl. Your photos look so refreshing and restful. What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing, CP.:)

    Gosh breath-taking views of these gardens. I have a Chinese fountain – the sound of water so soothing…
    What are the pink spikes called?

    How very lovely! Both the gardens and the statue, sometimes I really love sculpture and other times, I find it quite bizzarre, this is just wonderful :)

      I think this statue is very pretty and it suits being made into a fountain and it also suits being in a garden very well.

    I love the riot of color in the flowers. This garden looks to be in its prime bloom. Such a mixture of texture and colors. Plus the gorgeous fountain. This is definitely wonderful garden. Thanks for posting all the details.
