Japanese Gardens


My favorite spot at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens is the Japanese Garden.  


It is a beautifully designed space with weeping cherry trees


surrounding a picturesque lake. 


It includes a quaint little building


and some interesting Japanese sculptures. 


These cherries are the earliest bloomers in the park so they are a very welcome site after the winter. 


It's also the place I remember best from my childhood visits with my grandparents. 


And as you can see from these photos, which were taken over several years,


it looks quite different each spring depending upon both the way the weather breaks


and the lighting conditions on that particular day.  So it's always fun to photograph.


Enjoy!
