Great stroll today at Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden. Kind of bummed that the Koi weren't out today. Still too cold, they're in a hole at the bottom of the lake hibernating. Such a beautiful place. The oldest attraction at the Springfield Botanical Gardens, the 7.5 acre, Mizumoto Japanese Stroll garden was created in 1985 and includes a large koi lake, moon bridge, meditation garden, tea house and traditional Japanese garden landscaping. #LIFEATEXPEDIA #AQUATROVE
