A day at the Japanese Garden

Today, we took a trip to the Japanese garden called, "Shiojiri Niwa." The weather was sunny and beautiful. The point of the trip was to take picture and then go back to class and write a haiku poem about our pictures. We went on the trip and when we got there I started taking pictures and then, after a few pictures my camera died and I could no longer take any pictures. Luckily one of my friends lent me her phone and I continued to take more lovely pictures. The garden had beautiful trees and plants. The garden had a few bloomed flowers and beautiful and a Tea house. There were a couple of bridges and lots of rocks. There were lots of different rocks, some were small and some were big. I was undecided at first as to which picture to draw but then I picked a picture of a wooded bridge. When we got back to class I drew it on a piece of paper and hung our pictures in the hall. Below are some of the pictures that I have captured on the day of the trip. In Japanese Gardens, bridges are always made of natural materials, stone, wood, or earth. The Garden Bridge is a symbolic link between this world and paradise; the arch representing the difficult path to be followed.
