This large gate stands to welcome those who visit the Japanese Garden.
This small shelter provides some much needed shade on a hot summer day.
The garden is littered with small statues like this one.
I think this frog was also a fountain, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I took a photo very much like this in winter of this year. Looks much more dramatic then.
I experimented with some HDR here. It really helps the exposure. I'll have to try a polarizer next.
This Japanese style building rests on the other side of the pond in the garden.
Summer allows the algae to bloom atop this small pool.
A chipmunk takes a breather next to the very green pool.
The lillies are really something to behold.
I think I identified these correctly. They seem to drink up the sun with their open mouths.
A park attendant just finished powerwashing this bridge. He did a very good job!
This little statue seems to be hiding in the grass across from the lake.
This little lilly seems to be enjoying itself as it rests in the shade on the lake.
Water from the Elkhorn washes over the dam near the garden.
Across the road from the garden is the Elkhorn creek. Quite a few flowers have bloomed here this Summer.
