I waded through nostalgia as I returned to this garden after a multi-decade gap.
It remains lovely, and well maintained. Plus: it has autumn color! And koi.
I sat in a little pavilion on top of a small hill, listening to the sound of a waterfall, and enjoying the views. It was a satisfying, cooling, aesthetically pleasing visit. I'm so glad I returned! (I'm eager to see how my infrared images of this garden turn out...)
