This is a Japanese garden we visited while in Illinois last month. It's a beautiful place, although the photos don't convey the 100+ degree heat index on the day of our visit.

Today's Tip:
A change in perspective can make a big difference in photos. Getting lower or higher than typical eye level can make things more interesting or reveal things we didn't previously see.

fantastic Brian; lovely every view. Those gardens from the Japanese are so serene and majestic. Shame it was so hot during your visit there but you came back with beautiful photos to share
Beautiful images!
It looks like a cool and refreshing oasis on that hot day. A very beautiful gardens and photos.
I rate all of these photo at A+. Fantastic!
I love the waterfalls. That looks like a beautiful place to visit (but maybe in cooler temps).
Beautiful place and fantastic pictures. It sure doesn't look like a 100+ day.
it is really beautiful - and yes, the photos look rather refreshing. :)
Looks like a beautiful, peaceful place to visit. Sorry it was an oven on the day you went!
Despite the heat those trees and bushes look so green and lush. The copper beech looks magnificent and just adds to the colour palette.
Wow! What a place and beautiful photography despite the heat ~ thanks, carol
Oh! So lush and green! And the waterfalls. Spectacular!
WOW, so many beautiful scenes. The waterfalls is gorgeous and I love all the waterlilies. Great post, Brian!
It looks like a cool and peaceful place to be on a hot day. Beautiful photos.
Beautiful! Would you please share where this is in Illinois. Since I live in the central part of the state, it couldn't be too far away. Would love to visit.
A gorgeous place and your captures are breathtaking, Brian! It does look like such a sunny day and I can just imagine the HEAT! Thank you so much for sharing the beauty! Made my afternoon!! Enjoy your week!
So peaceful and serene! Beautiful photos.
Each one is stunning, love the waterfall. Illinois, another one to add to my ::::"list", hope I make it to all these truly marvellous beautiful places. Greetings from Jean
Gotta love a shot with water reflection. You've given me the need to go visit my town's Japanese Garden again which probably looks 100% better than this time last year. Hopefully I'll do it on a day that doesn't reach 100!
Stunning images, Brian!!I absolutely love the reflections in the first image.
What a dreamy place this must be. Your photos really show off it's beauty. To bad about the excessive heat.
That is beautiful! Love the waterfall pic especially. But I don't think I would be there with a 100+ heat index. You are a brave soul!
Looks as cool as it is beautiful!!! Glad you braved the heat!!! Your tip is right on!!!
Beautiful garden. You show us with great pictures
