I love your mosaic. We have a lovely Japanese Garden in Seattle I love to go to. Brings back wonderful memories of my time in Japan and all their beautiful gardens. Hope all is well with you and Mr. Dragon!
What a fabulous mosaic! I love your photos of such a lovely place! We have a marvelous Japanese garden here in Seattle as well, and there is another magnificent one in Portland, OR and I always enjoy going there. Would love to visit the one in Houston! Thanks so much for the tour! Have a wonderful week!

The hostess for Mosaic Monday is the lovely Mary at the Little Red House. Be sure to visit to see the other mosaics. I'm also linking to My World Tuesday where you can travel around the world without leaving home! Here are some more photos from the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park. Designed by world-renowned Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajima, the garden was built to symbolize the friendship between Japan and the United States, and to recognize Houston’s thriving Japanese community. It was a beautiful day in this island of serenity just steps from the Texas Medical Center.

Hi Snap,
I, too love the sound of the wind in the leaves. Our neighbor has some giant bamboo and eucalyptus that each have their own distinct rustle.
