The idle comments of a passionate Australian gardener, whose 'Growing Delight' is sharing the everyday bits'n'pieces with other lovers of gardening, and through photography, the beauty of the Australian landscape.
About Me
- Alice
- My husband and I are both retired and have lived in Canberra (Australia's Capital) for 35 years after moving from Victoria. We both love gardening and travel; I also love photography (you'd never guess), sewing & crafts, and writing. We have 4 wonderful adult children - 3 girls, 1 boy, and 6 adorable grandchildren.

It's a good thing I AM relaxed, otherwise I'd be in a tizz to get to this utterly tranquil looking place.
Nice pic of you below in front of the tower building ;) Just shows the sheer scale of it all. This place was truly a delight to visit. Brilliant pics- love the lake and vegetation too. As for those wee guys though- perhaps l will be dreaming of them tonight - scary lol- just kidding.
Bests and hugs x
Ok, I'm relaxed.....going to go make me a cup of tea, it looks like a perfect setting....thanks for sharing....
Nope, I'm not relaxed enough - know any good Buddhist retreats?
PS must have temples and a stone rabbit
Jellyhead, what a shame you are not in the UK, I could recommend some next month!
Just love the lotus pool, its too cold to grow them over here. Such a beautiful plant, so symbolic too.
Thanks for all the wonderful pics!
Beautiful Alice! Thanks for sharing.
My, oh my, yes, it's very peaceful! I too love the lotus pool. So tranquil. Just looking at it is relaxing. There's certainly no shortage of green in those grounds. They must have a good source of water. Lots of funny little men around...haunting Horizon's dreams :)
Well, you're lulling me to sleep, so goodnight dear Alice xox
Your pictures are beautiful.
Hi Alice..
Great shots of the temple,hope you are well talk again soon.
Hello!
very nice done Alice! (name portuguese)
This work is very good. thank you
have a good weekend
Beautiful Alice, absolutely beautiful... lucky lucky you!
What a tranquil looking place, Alice.
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous photos.
Take care, Meow
Very nice trip to the gardens. I would be sitting below that tower out of breath from all those steps myself...but I'm sure that you are just posing for the picture.
This entire series is wonderful, Alice... but I guess you have to be there to get relaxed. From my computer screen the word would be 'exciting'.
The fascinating thing is that you can travel to another world while remaining in Australia.

Catching up again - what a wonderful place. Not sure I could relax, either.. Everything looks so beautiful and fascinating.. Thanks for taking us along.. Missing you all.
I'm just here relaxing before I go to bed :)
See you when we get back. Well no, I'll see you when you get back. Have a wonderful time.
xoxo
Nice photos as usual, has been a while since i took any but will get some into the blog soon, just don't want to tempt fate and kill the pc again lol but will install kodak again soon lol
xx shona
Wishing I were there, Alice! I have just gotten interested in Japanese gardens and art...so peaceful! Looking forward to more photos from your trip.
