Another visit to the Japanese Tea Gardens / Sunken Gardens of San Antonio

I went back to see the restored Sunken Gardens at Brackenridge Park last weekend. There were a couple of musicians playing New Age music in the stone pagoda, which was actually rather nice. Although it was about 85 degrees, as usual in September, the walkways were shaded by the trees. They were not covered in blooms as they were on my first visit, but there were a lot of other flowers and greenery to admire.

The Sunken Gardens, located next to Brackenridge Park and the Zoo, is one of my favorite places in San Antonio. They are free to visit, although donations for their continued restoration and upkeep would be welcome.

Enjoy the show!

Robin,  What a lovely post!  I enjoyed it so much.  Your pictures are great and the dragonfly is my favorite!

Robin - Thanks for sharing. Still on our list of things to do. You really got some good close up shots, like the lady bug and dragon fly. You must have a nice camera to take such good close ups.

Hey, Ricki, Carl and Ceil!

Thanks for stopping by. As you can tell, I love ladybugs and dragonflies. And the more mosquitoes and aphids they eat, the more I love them! My husband is the one who is into butterflies, moths, and caterpillars, so I take pictures of them for his collection.

Hope you're getting some rain tonight!

Cheers,

Robin

Robin - Ceil said she counted, we got 63 drops of rain. Not enough.
