Kenrokuen

 Another view of the tea house. I am thinking of using this picture as the basis of a drawing.

 No matter which way you looked, there was picturesque scenery.

 These places were both large, as in the pictures of the pond, and small like this lamp hidden in the trees.

 As we were leaving the Kenrokuen garden, I took one last photo of the tea house.

 Back out on the street, we walked downhill toward our car and passed this souvenir shop. These men were standing around smoking. Most places in Japan now prohibit indoor smoking so you often see people puffing away outside.

This is the inside of the souvenir shop. I bought some sweets to take back to my art class.
