Last Semester we looked at the art of Asia and the noted the way in which Japanese gardens are set out and are featured on their beautiful painted wall scrolls. I took this photo (through a window) at a delightful Melbourne home last Saturday. I wanted to capture the tranquility of the garden for our Grade 3 and 4 students. The plant with the orange flowers is an Azalea and the tall water plants with yellow flowers on the right are Water Irises. The orange fish looks like a Koi. I hope that the message of peace is passed on by this photograph. For those who enjoy a challenge, how many fish can you find?
Japanese gardens are fantastic, especially when they have a little pond with fish in it.
