Spring in Anderson Japanese Gardens

    Visitors always remark how great this willow tree looks. Most of the willows are 
     green. I took this picture May 3, 2013. (Double tap the pictures to enlarge).

                    The Azaleas are in full bloom now and look lovely after the rain today.

       This stone (zen) beach is all new this year. They did a nice job of laying out all the 
        stones. 

                                       White Star Magnolias (originate in Japan).

    The gardeners installed a new wooden bridge above the waterfalls last fall.
    It has already aged to a nice dark color.
