When you hear the splash of the water drops that fall into the stone bowl,
you will feel that all the dust of your mind is washed away. —Sen-No-Rikyu
I visited a nearby lagoon area today to capture a photo or two of this delightful water feature. It is easy to gaze on this and feel relaxed and refreshed. After a week of the common cold laying us all flat and some very wintery weather it was a tonic to be out in the clear, sunny conditions and to listen to this gentle water moving.

Loved your shots, Well taken! =)
Thanks very much. I love that water feature and the layout of that rose garden. With winter here now the roses were not at their best.

What a beautiful tranquil place. It reminds me of Mona Vale gardens in Christchurch. Do hope your cold has flown and that the sun shines on you this week.
Thanks Ruth. It is a lovely peaceful setting and the sound of that low, moving water is very soothing. Lovely sunny week here which is a bonus:-)
ohhh the fountan …<3
Ohhh yes. It is lovely to gaze upon, lovely to sit and listen to and in summer the surrounding roses make it a special place.
What a lovely serene and cleansing image. I’ve got the cold too, but let’s hope it will soon pass.
Thanks Juliet. I hope the cold has moved on very quickly for you too.
