Rounding the corner from the rose garden you are met by a lovely gazebo and pond, surrounded by large ferns, plants, flowers, and trees.
Purple and white flowers hiding behind an iron bench:
A footbridge crossing a narrow portion of the shallow pond:
Other end of the pond features a fountain:
Hanging out underneath the fountain that day was a bright orange Triploid Grass Carp (they had a sign about them):
Close-up of the carp under the fountain - he didn't move the entire time we were there, but the other carp were swimming around the pond. This guy must have found something tasty on the fountain:
A smaller pond off to one side had an amazing hazy blue color to it:
Interesting yellow flower:
Perhaps even more interesting white flower - looks dangerous:
After an enjoyable walk around the grounds you might want to take a load off and just sit and enjoy the view for a while:
So that's all from Washington Oaks Gardens State Park this go around. I hope to get back next month and check out the beach side. Speaking of beaches... next stop? Flagler Beach.
