tea garden memories

for take a word this week we are invited to create with asia in mind. this made me think of my childhood growing up in san francsico, california, visiting the japanese tea garden at golden gate park. this creation is a poor homage to those days but it was always so much fun exploring the pagodas, koi ponds, the amazing landscaping and always ending the excursion having japanese tea and treats at the tea house.

images here are from pixabay, itKuPiLLi imagenarium and (retired) miles beyond the moon.

enjoy; love to all.

to calm the nerves: drink tea

for sunday postcard art: tea

various mischief circus artists, with tea bags from dezinaworld (retired).
