Manito Park

  
A while back I decided to see many of the local sights that I often neglect as they are always available.  Isn't it funny how it often takes a visitor to our area to point out the local sights that we have never seen or take time for?  So this summer I have been determined to see many of my favorite sights and also the sights that I keep putting off until another day.

This day I am making a tour of local parks.  So here are my finds for today.

A rose garden, full of beautiful specimens

today's favorite rose

A perennial garden 


A globe thistle













A Quail willing to pose if I just leave her babies alone














A fountain dedicated to a relative cousin - a woman before her time




























Japanese Gardens


Serene setting


Beautiful waterfall

Glazier Arboretum












     













Cacti garden
a moment to reflect
  












 
A trip to a duck pond








































The Formal Gardens
 
Auntie and I at Duncan Gardens


 Lunch at the Park Bench















The very best part is all of these wonderful sights and experiences are at one Park,  Manito Park in Spokane, Washington, a wonderful day for anyone.
