​Attached is a photo of me last week at a Buddhist temple in Japan, where I was researching moss gardens.  I visited an astounding 33 gardens in Kyoto, the city known for lots of Zen gardens.  Lots of walking, so Dorothy stayed home.

​Another temple shot.  The fall colors of the Japanese maples are absolutely incredible.  I have never seen colors so vibrant, even in Vermont.  The photo simple cannot capture the beauty.

​This photo was taken at the Fushimiinari-taisha Shrine in Kyoto.  Each of the wooden structures is called a tori.  It is placed there by someone (usually a business owner) who wishes good fortune.  Two rows of these extend for one and a half miles up a steep slope, so there are thousands of them.  Quite a sight!
