Ohh, this is beautiful. When I was there in November, the lake was mostly mud with a few small pools, and the sky was grey. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back there sometime soon! Or at least when it’s lush and colorful.
Lorrie – if it helps, I was walking through the botanic gardens about two hours ago and there was plenty of water in the lake, the sky was blue and the sun was lovely and warm.
That does help!
Even if it was two weeks ago, now.. 
look nice – reminds me kinda of the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch, NZ. Kinda wishing I was there instead of here (Sweden) with no more snow :p
Maybe You can write something about this http://anglopolish.com/index.php/anglo-polish/10-place-to-visit/56-skull-chapel ? I found it by accident, but i could not find more pictures
Absolutely stunning picture. It makes me feel like taking a big breathe to inhale the fresh air and scents.
Thank you!
I LOVE botanical gardens (they make me calm), especially the one in Zurich, Switzerland.
Really great picture! I’m pretty jealous you were in Australia and New Zealand, I haven’t been able to make it there yet. I am looking forward to reading more about your experiences there.
Absolutely beautiful! This makes me want to visit the botanical gardens in my own region.

A big country.
Great photo of a truly therapeutic park.
An absolutely stunning picture. Haven’t been to those gardens in melbourne yet, but went to the ones in Sydney
gorgeous! love the colors.
Aren’t these water lilies or am I being daft?
I love the pic though. It seems like you can smell the fresh air.
Those are water lillies!
