To finish my ABC garden theme I present you with the Japanese (Zen) garden at Kingtson Lacey in Dorset.
Focusing on Zen – the web gurus amongst us will enjoy this site it is a garden for people who enjoy the potential of CSS.
Finally I shall leave you with this Zen thought:
Confused by thoughts,
we experience duality in life.
Unencumbered by ideas,
the enlightened see the one Reality.
Hui – Neng

Just in case you think I have forgotten how to spell, it is an alternative spelling for gate, the dictionary tells me so 😉
Hope is with you when you believe
The earth is not a dream but living flesh,
that sight, touch, and hearing do not lie,
That all thing you have ever seen here
Are like a garden looked at from a gate.
You cannot enter. But you’re sure it’s there.
Could we but look more clearly and wisely
We might discover somewhere in the garden
A strange new flower and an unnamed star.
Some people say that we should not trust our eyes,
That there is nothing, just a seeming,
There are the ones who have no hope.
They think the moment we turn away,
The world, behind our backs, ceases to exist,
As if snatched up by the hand of thieves.

…Like everyone else I was struggling with X especially as it had to fit my garden theme. Then I realised that gardens are full of hidden X’s! Nearly as many as in the X Men films.

There are some beautiful formal gardens in Vienna and also a lot of scaffolding on the buildings. So I need to go back to get some better photographs 😉 Well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it!

There are some lovely tiered gardens at Upton House which lead down to a pond covered with water lilies. When I visited it was such a lovely hot day the garden was packed with people which made it almost impossible to take any decent photographs. But here are a couple to give you an idea of the setting.

I am sure some of you will remember that Powis castle and gardens are one of my favourite places to visit. They have some wonderful terraces so I just couldn’t resist posting a few more pictures from my collection.
Previous photos here and here.
