One leaf reflecting light.

Hidden roots give birth
to Pages torn from earth.
Leaves flitter: each a kite
reflecting Heaven light.

Strange canyons in bark.

The canyons in bark are like the geology of a strange, unexplored planet.

Floats, ropes, tangles and traps.

The complex beauty of colored floats, ropes, and lobster traps…

The spider king in a palace of diamonds.

Barren trees in a heavenly sky.

Bright moss, on a rolling stone called Earth.

The flavor of golden nectar.

What does it taste like . . .

A bee savors the flavor of golden nectar.

Beautiful blooms of a bougainvillea bonsai.

Leaves turning, trees bare, color on grass.

Please enjoy some photos. I took them this afternoon.

I don’t say much on this blog about who or where I am. My intention is to enjoy photography–and walking.  And to provide a sense of beauty that is universal. And possibly, maybe, to touch the minds and hearts of some readers.

But I must now say that this particular blog post and the next feature photos from the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego’s beautiful Balboa Park. I live nearby. A couple days ago I became a member of this garden. It’s a truly wonderful place.

If you’d like to see more colorful photos, visit my other blog Beautiful Balboa Park, or my main blog Cool San Diego Sights.

Thank you.

Light touching beautiful trees.

A few photos of light touching trees. Every tree, every branch, every leaf contains beauty. With the sun’s moving light, we experience endless moments of wonder.
