Japanese Tea Garden



Yesterday we had a ceremony of sorts in that we went to the Japanese Tea Garden here in Golden Gate Park very early for tea and a stroll. The garden opens at 9 and the hoards from buses dont arrive until about 10:15. The tea house is empty at that time and generally the only people there are the gardeners.
It is interesting and a little amusing to watch the gardeners careful attention to pruning details but when you look about - even to the tall, old trees - you can see the result of such care. It is stunning to consider that this patient gardening has been going on for years and years.
The pagoda is Tom's picture, the flowers mine - in case you were looking for yin and yang.
