Where is the Lotus Pond?

The constant rain is great for the gardens and lawns and is quickly filling the Lotus Pond to overflowing. The mist is poetic, but I yearn for the sunny days for photographic moments. While out capturing images of the pond, I also took some shots of the tulips and bleeding heart.  Hope you enjoy them. Always interested in your feedback!

Sunny morning after the rain in Ithaca

The soft sun lured me out into the garden this morning with macro lens and tripod.  I had purchased some tulip bulbs from Aalsmeer market in Amsterdam last year and was anxious to see how they bloomed. The parrot tulips are blooming later than other varieties, but are exquisite.  Here are some shots of tulips, a Rhododendron and a White Bleeding Heart.
