River of Lily Pads

Junko and I went to the Botanical Gardens today. They've opened to limited numbers of people, masks strongly recommended and required if interacting with any of the staff, and we were only allowed to walk the perimeter, but it was wonderful to be outside hanging out together and photographing something other than my view or city streets! The sun was shining and the colors were beautiful throughout.
Junko had a telephoto with her so was able to get details of the lily pads https://365project.org/jyokota/365/2020-06-17 and of the bird life https://365project.org/jyokota/365/2020-06-16
I'm guessing I'll be posting from this walk for a few days. It really was a beautiful area!
