Water Iris # 1

These 2 pictures were taken in Kariya Park which is about a 15 minute walk from where I live. It is Mississauga's 'sister park' with Japan, and is a lovely oasis in the middle of the city.

Here is a close-up of the yellow iris. There are a few purple ones.

Gee, that's pretty, Joan. We here in Castlegar have a sister city in Japan too, by the name of Embetsu. But we don't have any lovely parks, like the one in your photos, to commemorate them. That's a great idea, and that is a lovely Japanese Park.

Joan I want that pond!!! Ü Very, very pretty and serene.

Pam, you're going to have to come and get it. Can't ship. Ü

Joan, that is such a lovely park and a definite must visit for me and DH soon. Thanks.

Darn! I was soooooooo sure you could fit it in a box! ;)

ceedub, It's just south of Square One, if that is of any help to you.

The short street leading out of Square One onto Burnhamthorpe is called Kariya Gate & the street south of Burnhamthorpe is called Kariya Drive. Kariya Gardens is on the west side of Kariya Drive. Clear as mud? ;=} Why do they do that?

Joan

A great help, thank you Joan - I've already emailed Msga. friends wih the link.

Oh, likely to "greatly honour" that city by naming two streets and a park after it ... lol. Come to think of it, I have seen those streets and wondered why myself.
