Japan is known for its gardens and we have not been disappointed with their beauty.


Along the paths, there are places to rest and reflect. Under this trellis of wisteria, you became "heady" with their fragrance.

I was hoping to capture how it looked as if it were "raining" purple droplets.

To me, this bridge captures the essence of Japan. Spaning the past with the future.


Martin has even become a fan of the gardens. I'm not really surprised since he enjoys his quiet places.
We still marvel at how in the middle of the bustling city, there are these pockets of quiet retreats.
