As you leave the Selin's water gardens from the south, you walk thru this arch
John
hand-crafted as the gateway to the Japanese garden he built for his wife,
Sherri.

You'll walk on these foot-thick wooden flagstones.

Center stage you'll see a "water stone" surrounded by the seven circles of
Shintoism.

A small blue Buddha overlooks the circles. A huge wood slab provides
seating.

Further along you find a rake garden complete with bamboo rake.

Plants and rocks contrast with one another.

A bamboo "pump" completes the garden. John's currently at work
on a front entrance
to Sherri's Japanese Garden. We saw them again at Dr.
Ervanian's Japanese garden --
possibly looking for ideas?
