Summer remembered

West Waterfall-Nishi No Taki
 
 
 
 
“In our hectic and stressful world, Anderson Japanese Gardens opens minds to a different culture while offering guests a place of peace and tranquility where they will find healing, renewal, inspiration, and a re-energized soul"
 



How can it be that I have lived an hours drive from Anderson Japanese Gardens and I had never been there?  It certainly lives up to their mission statement that I quoted above.  The whispers created by the breeze through the leaves of the trees, the crackle of the gravel beneath your feet, the soft and loud sounds of water created by water basins, streams and waterfalls all create a beautifully peaceful and contemplative environment.  Sitting there for hours could be an easy thing to do.  We couldn't believe we had already been there two hours when we checked the time.

 I am missing these sights and sounds of summer in not only the Anderson Japanese Gardens but my own. I thought you might enjoy reliving some summer moments about now too.
