A visit to a garden in Hangzhou
was a magical experience filled with poetic images. Gold, red, and black
carp viewed from a bridge........The leaves of Lotus unfurling from a
stream bed....... Standing on a pebble mosaic and looking up to see tiny
maple leaf stars against the sky or down to view a school of shimmering
fish beneath the overhanging tree....... Finding a bright glade of shamrocks
in a dark forest............ Following the curve of a path among mounded
shrubs to meet a wandering peacock, a thrilling splash of color.
