Japanese Tea Garden III







Japanese Tea Garden II











Japanese Tea Garden

A couple of weekends ago, I went to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park to capture the cherry blossoms and other blooms on silicon for those unfortunate persons who do not live in a warm climate.

The Japanese Tea Garden was created for the 1894 California Mid-Winter Exposition as part of a Japanese village was constructed. After the exposition, the garden was expanded and maintained by the Harigawa family until they were relocated to internment camps during World War II.
