The Old Pond
(By Basho, trans. Fumiko Saisho)
The old pond--
a frog jumps in,
sound of water.
While visiting the Japanese Garden, I took more than a few photos of the gorgeous lilies and lotuses in the flower pond. Heck, I was tempted to grab my sketching supplies and draw some en plein air pieces. But it was infernally hot, so I contented myself with camera work.
