Hakone Gardens

We went to the beautiful Hakone Gardens in Saratoga last weekend. If you've never been there before, by all means visit at least once. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes (no high heeled sandals like I did). Here is Henry studying the mature vines atop the bamboo canopy.

Henry took this picture. Thank goodness for digital camera.

We had a lot of fun watching some lively turtles in the pond. Yes, they are actually very lively and move very fast, for turtles at least. These two are fighting over the sunning spot.
