We had a huge thunderstorm on Saturday night, then it cleared for the afternoon.....later Sunday night, we had rain and thunder again. The mugginess of the weather is much more like a midwest summer than a Seattle weekend!
There were quite a few visitors to the garden, and many of them enjoyed our music sitting under trees or laying on the goza mats on the ground. We talked to a gentleman who has an old koto in his home in Holland, and a family who was based in northern Japan for three years. The garden is beginning to take on fall colors in the trees, while there are some bright spring-like lilypads in the pond.
A striking dandelion was one of the first things that caught my eye...
Layering of changing leaves above the pond and teahouse....
John snapped a couple of pictures from the platform while I played...
Listeners, blissed out....and a very curious young listener who sat for a long time.
Reeds near the pond have an autumn look....
....while the waterlilies offer a refreshing pink.
The late afternoon sky shows the mugginess.
The moss on the rock reminded me of a river.
