Mizumoto Stroll Garden

By editing one photo, shutting down the art program, opening the art program, editing one photo, etc. I managed to edit the photos from our 2012 venture into the Japanese Stroll Garden in Springfield, Missouri. Things like this are why I miss living there. It was cheap to get in, beautiful, and very, very peaceful. Even with other visitors in the park it was arranged so that you felt like you were the only one there.

There are more photos in my Flickr album, as usual. And while these are CC they are sadly non-commercial via the rules of the park.

And if you want to see more of the Stroll Garden, and the surrounding parks, there is also an album from spring 2013 when I was able to get photos of some of the cherry blossoms. 

And now we’re off to a Christmas thing in Shen, so have a good one!
