Sheen on the forecourt of the Japanese garden main gate On this mild Sunday afternoon in April the many tropical butterflies loose in the biggest greenhouse continues to draw visitors for near and far. So the parking lots are mostly full and the many gardens to explore have more visitors than at other times of the year, too. A light drizzle dampened the entry into the Japanese-style garden around the time of this photo. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.
Dozens of poems on boulders appear in the wet This one near the Zig-zag bridge (Yatsu-hashi) reads, Come out bat; birds, Earth itself; hauled off by flowers.

Sparkle, glisten, and glitter on the water's surface At the north end of Aman Park this view of the Sand Creek shows the reflective surface of the moving water, even without bright skies overhead. The smooth, diffuse lighting of overcast weather put everything in a good color and light, but without any defining shadows. Press L for 'lightbox' to view the clip on a black background.
Forest views filling in with 2024 leaves Near the Aman Park trail head, this view off the bluff down to the Sand Creek offers long views when the tree branches are bare during late fall, winter, and early spring. But now the green is returning quickly. In another week of mild temperatures, occasional rain, and longer days, the view will turn into a wall of green.
