Zen inspired landscaping offers opportunities for meditation and contemplation in my winter garden. Bamboo is one of the loveliest and most recognizable features.An invitation to sit is provided by a worn stair step. Below it are smooth hand chosen stones from the Atlantic Ocean.Rocks suggest mountains, stability… …and sculptures.The aged laurel bush, worn by time and weather, is a favorite shelter for native and migrating birds.A weathered bird feeder ornament intrigues our feathered visitors.
Friends worried that the bamboo would overtake everything near it, but fortunately, it grows just enough so we can cut it down and make garden stakes every once in a while. 😉

I love these Zen moments! Perhaps, I should more often to look for them.
Thank you for inspiration!
Thank you for those kind words, Kaya!
All lovely! But that bamboo is especially fine.
