Watery Bellevue Botanic Gardens

Continuing my tour of the Bellevue Botanic Gardens, here are some of the lovely water features, in the grey light from the cloudy and rainy day when I was there.
The next one was taken through some leaves, with a very wide aperture to blur those leaves and create a frame for the water. I'm not sure it's completely successful.
But I did like this green reflection.
I think this is appropriate to link to both Water Wednesday and Scenic Sunday. Visit both memes for lots of great photos!

    What a lovely spot. In Toronto, it's really hot right now, and it's so pleasant to look at your photos.
