After pulling into the temporary just for this event parking lot at the top of one of the many hills, we took in the wonderful view of all of the amazing landscaping. There are many many trees on the property including some rare conifers (I’ve never seen a black pine cone that sparkled before ever) and a large lake with beautiful water lilies floating in it; I immediately thought of Monet and his paintings. The gardens have a very distinct Asian influence to them which we will see next.

I immediately had to think of Monet as I saw your captures, especially the last one.
Then I have succeeded in my mission 🙂
It’s beautiful ~~~ love it 🙂
Thank you. I hope you stay to see the rest of the gardens. They are amazing!
Certain feelings …
Thank you 🙂
Wet and wild!
Not really. More like wet and moments of zen.
You got your zen all wet trying to meditate on a lily pad?
A bit…just staring at one lily bobbing back and forth did it.
