Today started out a bit cloudy, but, by day's end it was sunny and about 78 degrees.
We went to Edo, a nearby Japanese restaurant for an early lunch. We both had different ramen dishes.
Then - off to Hamilton Gardens. There are 28 walled themed gardens. It was originally built on the city's waste disposal site. The first garden (roses) opened in 1971 to prevent a highway going through the site. The focus is not on botanical science, but on garden design.

Hence, there are gardens representing: a Tudor garden, an Italian Renaissance garden, an Egyptian garden, Japanese garden, Indian garden, Chinese garden.
We were especially taken with the Surreal Garden and its whimsy.

It was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon wandering.
