When I visited the lovely garden of the
Studio Bonsai this was my favorite place: an artificial small pond with an unpainted
soribashi bridge.
The pond has water lilies, fishes, and even a small artificial fall.
What more one can ask for on a hot summer day in town?

What a lovely spot.
I like it too! A little oasis of peace.
I think this would have been my favorite spot too. I love water lilies. This is very pretty.
Love Japanese gardens. This looks so nice and yes, they are wonderful places to visit on hot days. That bridge is wonderful, too!
Pretty and peaceful!
One short bridge, but it keeps the feet dry.
A lovely place!
I can see why you liked it.
Just fantastic!
Lovely garden. The Japanese were onto something excellent when they created the idea for such peaceful gardens.
Wonderful. Every town should have such a peaceful, graceful place.
Beautiful sequence, VP, I love Japanese gardens.
I can see why this was your favourite spot VP, tres tranquil.
The kind of pond I would love to have at home. Beautiful!
It is lovely. I visited Monet's house in Giverny last week and was struck by seeing the large number of Japanese woodcuts hanging on the walls. It helped me to appreciate how much he and other Impressionists were affected by Japanese sensibilities, including bridges like that and waterlilies.
