Thank you Ebi. What a lovely name for the Japanese Garden, Sho-Fu-En, ‘The garden of pine and wind’. I live in the foothills west of Boulder on several acres filled with Ponderosa pines on the south-facing slopes and spruce and fir on the north-facing, and yes, it is very windy up here. Your description of the garden in winter is so apt. The texture of the foliage looks beautiful with snow, against fog or sunlight and being blown by the wind. Sho-Fu-En is one of my favorite places at the DBG; I always go there when I visit. Thank you!
