Glad I made your morning!
Deletewow--this is simply gorgeous--funny some of the styles don't seem oriental to me---is that a windmill--thanks again for transporting me somewhere, i will not likely be going, but would love to :)
ReplyDeleteI know, the first two pictures don't look very oriental. I thought it was interesting that there were windmills in China. I didn't expect to see them.
DeleteSo beautiful!!
ReplyDeletep.s. I have a picture of an ice berg we saw by quidi vidi today! I noticed you liked my post on quidi vidi, thought you would be interested!
I'll have to stop by and check it out.
DeleteGorgeous, Sherry! Such a meditative theme. And purposeful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think gardens are very relaxing, too.
DeleteI was wondering where you'd take us next. Such a pretty Northern Chinese garden.

Beautiful gardens. I have to admit, though, cleaning dog vomit was pretty intriguing too. Thanks for the following at Creating Wordlenik.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah, but I'd honestly rather be gardening! Thanks for visiting!
