11 June 2022 Vancouver BC: Classical Chinese Gardens

 


This old bird was used to the limelight; the pictures, the adoring crowds and constant attention.  He stood there nice and steady so I got a few good pictures.  This bird was at thew Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Gardens.  They were not the biggest gardens we have visited but there were many smaller nooks and crannies for us to explore.  We saw the heron featured above, turtles and flowers everywhere..


Just like the one we saw in Shanghai


  Bark bark says the dog



A nice display of an artist at work


Nestled in the high rises of Vancouver


Gardens and rooms with artifacts and these carved windows


Red Poenies


Dwarf Daffidols


The smallest of flowers in big bunches.  The Bees love it!


Garden Gnomes


Views thru the lattice work


Such great craftsmanship


Our complementary green tea was in a tiny cup


The stone walkway way everchanging.  Sometimes smooth stones, sometimes rough, always changing orientation


This bronze heron also stood very still


He was stretching out his neck


Red ears!


Embroidered on silk


Quite the production


A glass window!


The garden and pond


The root that could


What number does this represent?
