I went to the Humble Ambassador's Garden in Suzhou China this last weekend. It was a crowded but lovely place. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and very much worth the visit. Here are a few of my favorite shots from there. Particularly beautiful were the lotus ponds. Here are some shots from those ponds.
Thank you all for your very kind comments. I have always appreciated the tone and thoughtful replies on this board. I don't know why I don't post here more often. I will try to do so in the future.
Number one was a bit of a lucky find. Going through the lotus ponds in the garden I happened upon that leaf in the water that had collected on the lotus frond. Really lovely how nature can present itself sometimes.

Lovely closeups of the flowers. Now how about shots of the entire pond and bridges (if any). I'm thinking of a Chinese version of Monet's garden.
I do have some nice shots of the ponds from a wider view, but this time of year there only only a relatively small number of flowers. I think I missed the peak for flowering about a month or two ago. I will attach one I took of a nice Lotus pond, however.
And thank you Kenny, John, Bobby, Michael, Joshua, and Roberta for the kind words. I really appreciate it, especially coming from a group of such superbly talented photographers.
