Pond at Highline Botanical Garden
Nothing as delightful as a bit of water splashing into a pond, is there? This scenic view was taken a few weeks ago at the Highline Botanical Garden, south of Seattle. The gardeners in this area, the Pacific Northwest, are very skilled at combining leaves and textures for a subtle but lovely effect. It’s an Asian influence, I understand.
Visit Watery Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday for more of the same, and try SOOC (straight out of the camera) and Scenic Sunday as well. Weekend Reflections has some fascinating visual reflections for your enjoyment.
Be sure to try something new here; maybe search for “Highline” to see other shots taken in that lovely garden area. If you see only one post here, click on Sara’s Fave Photos for the full blog.



Lovely peaceful pond: –
Whispering fish turn about
Inside winter’s pool,
Clouding the mirror of sky’s
Yellow glow, in song,
A morning window over quiet mud
Does answer gently the day
In sun coloured thought.
Something scribbled i found forgotten in my notes.
There’s so much going on in this scene. I love the lilly pads and the reflections of the trees in the water:)
I totally agree with you. This is like a piece of heaven down on earth.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
This spot is lovely. I believe you are right about the Asian influences in the garden in the Pacific Northwest. The gardens have a quality of tranquility to them.
love all the different greens – very relaxing. Judith

Nice place to meditate.
