Botanical gardens have always been a place I enjoy visiting. I grew up next to the famous Huntington Library and they are known for their Japanese Gardens, so I wanted to find a botanical garden close to my apartment and include it in my blog. I discovered some Japanese Gardens on the campus of Cal State Long Beach. The gardens are a great place to relax and be surrounded by natural beauty.I sat on one of the benches for 30 minutes to observe the nature and the people. It was great to get away from my apartment and meditate in these gardens.
"You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside."
Here is a simple haiku I created from my visit to the gardens.
Under the brilliant sunshine
Koi fish swim and play
Breeze makes the trees and leaves dance
