Discover - - StoneWater Beach

StoneWater Beach

The lake shore along the property of Gardens at Waters East is named:  StoneWater Beach.

The following collection of photos best explain why.

The other day, while taking a slow and deliberate walk along the shore,  a number of photographs were taken of the many and varied forms and colors found at the beach.  It is fascinating to discover the beauty and the detail in objects so often overlooked.  Taking a moment here and there to stop and look down, or to sit and observe, brings a whole new world to life.  Here is a part of the gardens - all in stone.

Beauty and Wonder 

abounds

WANT A "QUICKIE" ? - TODAY

AWESOME

Today, Saturday, was a perfect day from sunrise to sunset.  Mid seventies and low humidity.  A great day for walking and enjoying the Gardens at Waters East.  The birds were about, the butterflies and bees all around the property, and the blooms of lots and lots of flowers still going strong.  Here then are four of a series of twenty-five sunrise pictures taken this morning, with additional photos taken of garden life today, and finally the sunset this evening.  The beginning, middle, and end of a perfect day at the shore.  The photos will do the “talking”, no words needed today.

Birds & Bees / Bugs & Butterflies - & - Frogs

Birds & Bees  /  Bugs & Butterflies - & - Frogs

Impossible to count the number of visitors that were in the Gardens at Waters East this past weekend.   Everywhere one looked, there was one, then another, and then even more.  They came on foot (feet) and on wing.  After taking more than 200 pictures;  a voice inside my head said – “enough already”.  Here then are a few of the many photos, and some of the many visitors to the gardens.

Just their pictures today, left off the names.

Enjoy
