A Picture a Week: 1 (Oct 4-10)

I have been living in my new city for almost 3 months and it difficult to be settling into a routine and figuring out what to do when I'm not working. My thought was 'a picture a week.' I could go explore a new area of town, try out a new restaurant and share my explorations of my new city.

Hopefully I will be able to keep this up, it doesn't sound difficult now, but who knows it might be more work than I'm thinking. 

Here goes, Week 1:

Fredrick Meijer Gardens

The other day I went exploring at the Japanese Garden in the Fredrick Meijer Gardens (they have several different types of gardens). I must say the fist day I went I didn't take my camera and went back the next day to take pictures and enjoy the peacefulness of garden and the beautiful day.

The garden is centered on a lake

Water Lily

One of several waterfalls

The bridge crosses to a little island

After walking around for awhile, I stopped and watched the clouds drift by...

While I was walking around the lake, I was stopped by someone who asked if I had gotten some good pictures and what kind of camera did I have. We both had Nikons (and his good one is way better than mine), as we were talking he told me visits the Fredrick Meijer Garden once every week or two, usually when he comes to visit his granddaughter.
