SPRINGTIME IN NEW YORK

 Saturday 4 May
Another glorious day and as planned we set off to Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.  As it was Saturday and before midday entry was free, but other times entry is a small amount of $10.00.
At the entrance there is a children's touch and smell garden, and a community garden with families tending their small plots.







Spring was late arriving this year, and I was hoping we would see the cherry blossom trees at their peak.  What a spectacular display, with the avenues full of colour not only from the




trees but the people also enjoying the ambience of the morning. 



I had noticed on the map that there was also a Japanese Garden. Another favourite place of mine to visit. 




Japanese gardens are always peaceful to me.

After walking around the Japanese gardens we followed the track as well as the cooking smells only to be surprised by the gardens of colourful tulips. 





Another eye catching display of colours and of course would not see this back in Brisbane.
