more pics???

[Colin]

With a great deal of luck and some serious assistance from the secretary I should now have some decent size pictures attached The first is the patio area and you can just see my tskubai which I had to repair after the winter. The second is a close up showing the new buddha, surrounded by the lantern, minature bamboo, an acer dissectum and my azelea which has just started to come into bloom.
The third is my arbor, I dont have space for a full tea house!! You can see my nigra bamboo, my pinus parviflora and another lantern. Any suggestions would be gratefully received as this my first real attempt at putting the Japanese touch in the garden. I will post another 2 pics as they wouldnt fit on this one.

Hi Colin,
I love your arbor. Where did you get it?

Hi J, I bought it at the local 'Focus' DIY store, it was on sale at a very reasonable price. I may put some bamboo roll on the roof section to give it a more Japanese look. It is ideal for my garden size as I dont have space for a teahouse and that corner of the garden is the last place that gets any sun at the end of the day Its nice to sit with a beer soaking up the last rays before the sun goes behind the shadow from the house, contemplating and admiring the garden.

Hi Colin,
Very good ,it's nice sometimes to just sit and take in the view of the garden instead of working at it all the time.and a beer also helps.

Hey Colin,
I long for the day when I can do that in my yard with an ice cold Sapporo.
