Yesterday I posted some photos of Holland Park. Today I would like to share some of the photos of the Japanese Garden in Holland Park. This was my favorite part. I hope you enjoy.

Yes, I enjoyed it very much. Things Japanese are very dear to me.
I found this to be the most beautiful and peaceful part of the park. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos.
The Peacock and Koi were cool!
I loved them! The Koi were huge
When I lived in Cayman Islands, beside my apartment was a bird sanctuary. Sometimes in the morning I’d open my front door, and sitting in my wicker chair would be a peacock. Shocking sights first thing in the morning. Seeing those things fly felt like I was on set for a filming of The Flintstones.
Beautiful photos.
That would be a shock. But I have to hand it to the peacock, I like sitting in wicker chairs and taking in the scenery. Did it yell at you for interrupting his downtime?
A loud squawk is what I got!
That just looks like a little piece of paradise! Beautiful shots.
Thanks. It is a great place to spend some time and recharge your batteries.
Beautiful, simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Beth Ann!
Why is that other peacock grey? Very nice photos!
I believe the other one is a female. The males are the colorful ones. Thanks for visiting!
OMG, you captured a peacock and a peahen too! Very very cool. And great captures 🙂
This place is beautiful. My peacock feather pictures go well with these pictures of yours. Hehehe. 😉
I was lucky that day to see both of them. They are such characters.
I loved your photos of the feathers. Here is the link in case others want to check it out:

So beautiful!
Thanks so much for sharing the link. I’m glad you loved them 😀
My dad had 3 small Koi a few years ago, unfortunately the heron killed all 😦 I love Koi. Great photos! 🙂
Oh the poor Koi. That’s awful. They are such beautiful creatures.
Absolutely stunnig! I love Japanese philosophy!
Thanks! I don’t know much about Japanese philosophy but I should look into it. This garden is a work of art.
Beautiful and I love those peacocks.
Thanks Carol. They were pretty cool!
I already admired your earlier post and the photos.
Such a lovely place.
Thanks Caroline. I really enjoyed this park and I feel so lucky that it is near my apartment. It is a wonderful place to wander through.
These pictures are wonderful. I would love to walk through this garden.
When I was a young girl of nineteen I flew to Japan to marry my fiance who was stationed there.
If only I had taken advantage of those months in Kyushu. Live and learn.
Thanks! I think you would love this garden and it would provide inspiration for your writing. Do you think you will ever travel back to Japan to experience the things you missed?
I would love to go back. It has been over 40 years since I was there. I am sure I wouldn’t recognize anything. My ex-husband and I were married at the American consulate in Fukuoka. In fact, I still have my Japenese marriage license from Fukuoka city hall.
We lived in a small Japanese house in a small neighborhood a short distance from Fukuoka. Only two of my photos remain because my cellar flooded about three years ago and destroyed all my pictures. I hadn’t taken that many but some of them were of the Bomb Museum in Nagasaki where we had gone for our honeymoon. The experience was unbelievable, seeing what keloid heat did to those poor people.
There is so much beauty in Japanese culture and ways…art, flowers etc. I missed much of it!
Wow – paradise hidden in a park…
It really is. And I loved it!
Hi My Words Whisper. That sounds like an amazing experience. I am sorry to hear that a lot of your stuff was destroyed in a flood. That is horrible. I can’t imagine experiencing the museum and seeing the devastation from the bombs.
I haven’t experienced Japanese culture that much but I would love to. Everyone tells me how beautiful their ways are. I would love to visit Japan someday. It is on my list that’s for sure. I hope you can go back. It might be fun for you to see how much it has changed and to see what is still the same.
as always they are all gorgeous photo’s! thanks for sharing!
Thanks! The park makes it easy for photographers. It is all beautiful.
Gorgeous shots!
Thanks Hook!

I love Japanese gardens. You captured this one beautifully. 🙂
