Bridging the Gap

A bridge can bring one closer to seeing the other side of the garden.

A lovely banner, Fleur! A bridge might be crossing a gap, but often I pause halfway across and watch the river below. Smiling

I had to come here to find out what this photo was supposed to be. My eyes seem to be aging more every day and thought it was a piece of denim.😄

Very relaxing Fleur.

Love the mood of the image, or at least the slice of it selected for the banner. Water features enhance any garden, and of course, large enough water features cry out for bridges. Beautiful.

@Cal, Thank you for your deeper interest on this banner. Full photo attached. I took this photo at the Chicago Botanical Gardens in Glencoe IL. I believe it was part of acreage done in Japanese Style as a gift from the country of Japan. The entire landscape is very peaceful in meticulous design and breathtaking in beauty. Indeed the left tree visible is a Weeping Willow as is the right tree.

Beautiful scene, Fleur. Thanks for posting it.
I also see a nice group of lotus below the willow
on the right, and possibly yellow iris below
the willow on the left.
The willows are spectacular.
Are those ducks on the water?
