It seems that Tibetan New Year is close to the Chinese New Year which if my memory is right is also in February. Nice to see some greenery, we got more snow last night but it covered everything again and just a patch or two of my grass was showing - not any more!
Oh, these photographs are lovely. I almost forgot all about Chinese New Year with the Blizzard and all. Thank you for reminding me. Chinese New Year always brings back such lovely memories.
I feel calm and peaceful after seeing your Japanese images. A beautiful garden. Shane

This is what greeted me in my email this morning.
Happy Losar! A joyous year of the female water snake to you and yours. In this, the 2140th year on the Tibetan calendar, may all the world, and every one of us in it, come to know peace and walk with kindness so that those born will be welcome, those passing will be at ease, and harmony reins in all our inner and outer realms. * A time to reflect, to start again. There is no better place to celebrate the Lunar New Year than at the Japanese Garden in the early morning.

Good Morning, Snap
The sense of peace and tranquility in your photos in almost palpable. It's interesting how some images just make you breathe more slowly and deeply.
