Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!
@Standley: Thanks Richard!

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Fascinating. I guess they are propping up the tree so it doesn't fall into the water?

I remember seeing a tree braced just like that. I think it was another temple garden though. Lovely shot.

@Steve Rice: Thanks Steve! That kind of bracing is quite common in Japanese gardens.
@akarui: Thanks Olivier. A happy memory for me...

A pair of chop sticks in the water --for a giant.

@Twelvebit: How did you know?! Naw, those are very common for supporting pines (or are they firs?) in Japanese gardens.

Another splendour with all the shapes and colours and the silver mirror of the pond!
