A section of the Moss Garden at Bloedel Reserve in Seattle, Washington - designed by Richard Haag. A thin steam winds through fluffy moss mounds in a dark, mature woodland. Ferns and native shrubs frolick in the dappled understory of the tall trees. Photo from: http://www.intercontinentalgardener.com/2011/03/bloedel-reserve-revisited.html

A basic walk in Kyoto is from the Kawaramachi Station area along shops to Yasaka Shrine, then Maruyama Park (first photo). But instead of turning right toward the traditional shops along the slope and reaching the world heritage temple Kiyomizudera, I sometimes turn left and go along the slope to Chion-In (other three photos), the national head temple of a Pure Land Buddhist sect. Pure Land Buddhism has the most adherents in Japan, and this is a very large-scale temple for parishioners and members nationwide, rather than a sort of outdoor museum or monument like Kiyomizudera and most other major tourist attractions.

Everywhere in Kyoto and other prefectures is gorgeous during the fleeting cherry blossom viewing season, so any walking route with a lot of cultivated nature is rewarding to experience now.

August 21, 1983: After a steep scramble up a rockslide, the trail broke out of the forest onto open rocks and ledges along the ridge crest with great views southward across the valley. The neighboring large towns of North Adams and Williamstown spread out below, covering a broad, relatively flat section of that river valley.

We are standing on a rocky ledge atop a mountain, line of trees running down the mountainside to our right. The top tree frames the picture on the right side. The sun is offscreen to our left, washing out that portion of the otherwise soft blue sky with a few thin clouds. We are looking down at a long, broad valley hundreds of feet below. A semicircle of wooded hills and low mountains with a handful of small open green fields surrounds the valley along the far horizon. The visible portion of the valley is mostly green farm fields and broad swaths of trees. There are several small clusters of homes, two of which also have a few larger buildings: schools, churches and commercial buildings. This is part of the small twin cities of North Adams and Williamstown, Massachusetts.

Oh, it was a broody day, that afternoon by Palouse Falls in Washington state.

The clouds built up and up, heavy in the sky, portentous of a mighty storm to come. And then there was a little break, enough for the sun to glance through, and the storm didn't seem so inevitable after all.
