Sunken Gardens is a botanical paradise in the midst of a bustling city. As St. Petersburg's oldest living museum, this 100 year old garden is home to some of the oldest tropical plants in the region.

I read that there is a surge in demand for houses with gardens since lockdown and our garden centres have reported a rise in sales.
This Ganesh water feature caught my eye.
Wishing you all a great weekend, free of obstacles
I just happened to be out on Monday when I got Kim's email and knew exactly what I would do for stop action. I was already on my way to my favorite nursery and they have so many beautiful water fountain features that I love to photograph, some are perfect for stop action. I took this perspective because I was trying to get a drop as it bounced back up off the surface and I wanted somewhat of a side profile. I kept my aperture at 4.5 which would allow the water drop to be in focus and still allow for a blurred background and a speed of 1/500 to freeze the action.
A trickle of water flowing from above splashes and blows onto the walls of this pool feeding a lovely array of mossy plants.
A moment of calm
The Kyoto Garden was very busy when we visited (at lunchtime). But it was still possible to find some tranquility. You just need to know where to go… in the Kyoto Garden and in life!

Coming soon: photos from our day trip to Woolbeding Gardens and Silk Route Garden, a National Trust property in Sussex. Matt and Sophie took JJ and me there. There's no house to walk round but the grounds of the property are wonderful. This is JJ's and my reflection in a sculpture that was created to replace an old tree (yew, I think). More on that later.
Are you and your very lovely lady enjoying the first three hours of your Vegas Fling? As well-seasoned Vegas Connoisseurs and Masters of the High Art & Science of 'Living Las Vegas' you two have made the most of your time on the Fabulous Vegas Strip. You two made it quickly and efficiently through Concourse-C at McCarran International Airport to baggage claim in the main terminal, y'all caught the 7am SuperShuttle to the New York-New York Hotel & Casino, completed hotel registration in less than 15 minutes, dropped off your luggage and made it to the 'All You Can Eat' Breakfast Buffet at CHIN-CHIN before 8am, and now at 10am y'all are busy exploring the wide and wonderful resort campus of your home for the next three days. Do you two like what you've seen thus far?
And so the Big Question of the day remains unanswered -- What Marvelously Magnificent Mischief do you and your very lovely lady have planned for this evening? Whatever y'all plan to do tonight -- Make It Notorious -- Make It Legendary -- And make sure It happens at the NY-NY!

Two images from Seville, Spain. We passed this interesting water feature parallel to the canal. Unable to find out anything about it. I think there was a statue nearby but we didn't take much notice of that, lol!
