Oh, what a beautiful morning!
In late summer, from eight till nine is a glorious time to be in the Japanese garden. The sun, at a low angle, pierces through the linden tree and lights up the moss mound and small pool next to the house. Backlighting provides what I like to call an electric sensation, just stunning. And try as I'd like, I cannot begin to capture with my camera the beauty the eye perceives. You just have to be here.I built these mounds in 2013. The moss is primarily Anomodon rostratus, but every year new species appear, so eventually it will be quite a mix. The moss on the other side of the bluestone walk is Thuidium, of two species .
It is often frustrating trying to capture a scene in the garden with a camera. One's eyes are filled with beauty yet it is flat and uninteresting filtered through a camera lens. I think this looks great even tho it probably isn't what you see.
