The Japanese Garden in the Arboretum

The Japanese Garden is celebrating its 50th birthday this year. At one time it was more open to the public, but is now walled off for its protection and there is an entry fee of $5, $3 for seniors. I think it's worth it.
Pond critters - a few ducks and lots of big, fat koi.

    Although beautiful,this garden doesn't look very Japaneae. I expected a more formal setting.

    Gorgeous photos, Linda. I have to tell you this Japanese garden is quite a bit prettier than the one in Albuquerque, I'm afraid.
