1403-1426
Its about 80 degrees and very nice out, the sun is shining and its not very windy but there is a nice breeze. I decided to go back to the same spot I was at earlier today. Something about the Japanese Garden really sparked my interest. I read the plaque and it was created in memory of a teacher (I believe). It seems like an interesting thing to make in memory of someone. It made me want to delve deeper into the origin of the garden. I noticed a cement, birdhouse type figure about 20 feet in front of me. I went and looked inside but I could not figure out the sole purpose of it. I didn’t see any birds flying into it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a birdhouse. There are many things about this garden that seem strategically placed but I’m not entirely sure why they were put that way. For example there is a path of rocks, and they act as steps for a slight decline or incline depending on which way you’re looking at it. The rocks however are not in any particular order, but they are legitimate steps so it would seem like they were meant to be like that even though they don’t look like it. The plants in this garden have a completely different feel to them than the plants that I have been observing previously. These plants are longer leaves and brighter green. They seem to have a tropical feel.
