Positively Serene

With all of the blossoms surrounding me, I am reminded of our visit last year to the Japanese Gardens in Lethbridge. It was such a serene environment, with carefully hand selected round smooth rocks spaced equally apart in the fine sand, beautifully sculpted trees and bushes, gently flowing waterfalls into a calm pond, wooden bridges, pagodas, and benches offering places of contemplation, ducks flying in and out freely, and slow winding paths encouraging visitors to take their time meandering through the park. As I sit here composing this art on my iPad, I am listening to my favourite traditional Japanese music and imagining what the park might look like in spring. I am positively serene!
