"The Japanese Gardens in Ft. Worth!"

Welcome to the Japanese Gardens! As you can see by the street sign in the background, all we have to do is turn here and...



...here we are!! Authentic looking isn't it?



Now where do we enter this place? Anyone? Anyone know where the entrance is?



They have several koi and fish ponds located around the park. They also have food pellets located nearby. A whole quarter gets you about 20 of 'em. The fish love them. Maybe it's because they contain...pure crack!! Okay, just kidding about the last part.



One of the 3 waterfalls around. Do you see the fish swimming all by his lonesome self?



Now keep in mind this is a Tuesday afternoon...people sure didn't feel like working that day.



"And she's climbing...a stairway...to..." Actually there was just a bench up there...kind of anti-climactic.



Emmy: "Daddy, there's a man with a mask behind you!!"

Me: "Oh sure, right...like they'd let a criminal into a public park!"



"Like a bridge...over...troubled waters...I will something-something-something..." man, this place is full of musical inspiration!



One sign people always notice!



Fish: "Feed me. Feed me. Feed me. Something besides those awful food pellets. PLEASE."



Don't think they forgot about the birds! Pretty neat looking houses they have! And I didn't even see any birds! They know how good they have it.



Would you believe they don't rent fishing poles here? They would have incredible business! Of course the fish would all be gone but still...



This is just a really pretty backdrop. Now if they'll just let us skinny-dip...we'd be "good to go".



We tried to tell these guys a long time ago "This is not the way out!" but did they listen? Nope! And now look at them...frozen...for all eternity...ah well.

I hope you enjoyed the tour! April 1 & 2 they're having a big shindig out here. Try and make it if you're local!
