taken at Yordie Sands Zen Garden
Saturday morning I visited the Harvest Moon Cafe and the nearby Zen Garden, which is the current project of Yordie Sands. She was there and gave us a tour explaining what the symbolism of the beautiful objects meant and sharing her love of Japanese gardens.
Harvest Moon Cafe
I was quite pleased that some friends I don’t see often enough were also there at the same time. I set my graphics to most of the recommendations, but not all, and enjoyed taking pictures as well as listening to the music, ambient sounds and reading local chat. More photos can be seen on my Flickr which can be accessed in the sidebar.
the strolling garden
Many of the numerous photos I took are for my private collection of architectural details. My favorite part of the area was the bamboo forest.
The place isn’t open to the public; more details can be found in Yordie’s blog which can be accessed in the sidebar of this page.
There are neighbors on this private land. The cafe and garden will be up through the end of the month. I’m glad I got to experience it and may visit again during low-traffic times.
Yordie sharing with us the symbolization of the various objects
When asked, Yordie wasn’t sure about her future plans; she’s quite busy in first life.
Recently I visited a garden in Portland Connection but didn’t take any photos. I might return there or seek others out. There’s just something about these places.
Million Happy Endings 
Thank you for the kind words and beautiful pics Pearl! I’m so glad you dropped by and hungout a bit. I wish I could see into the future, but at this point in my life I’m very reactive.
When I take this build down, I’ll place all the objects into a special folder. I might rebuild on a regular 1/4 sims so I’ll have more prims, but that’s just something I’ve been noodling.
Thank you for coming 🙂
It was my pleasure.
Like you said, You can’t see into the future but I did wonder about your doing something on one of these event things like SL10B. I know almost nothing about them…so no pressure. 🙂
And I understand about being reactive. Lately I’ve been volcano-woman a time or two.
That makes a lot of sense, Pearl. I hadn’t thought of that. And I have several settings designed, so I’d have a lot to choose from. Thanks 🙂
