"You mean all these people came just to see these little lanterns" Said Nina. (Or something similar) Clearly, one who is accustomed to seeing dogs moving just short of the speed of sound just missed the whole zen thing in the Japanese Gardens Inhale, breath deep, exhale, listen to the quiet . . . Nothing moves here except the photographers.
It was photographer's night at the Garden and the lanterns were lit just for us. And we were not alone.
Okay, maybe not the colors of spring or fall but they did have all the lanterns lit with little oil lamps. That was special for the evening
I'll admit it, not quite the show I was hoping for either. Later when the days are shorter I think it will be a more interesting shoot.
But there was still plenty to see without the usual congestion of a summer day.
The usual waterfalls.
Beautiful iris
And who can forget the Cranes, fixtures in the garden.
I had a great time. Nina finally caught the mood and soon was shooting away, manual exposures all the time no less. Sigh, I'm such a rookie.
