Another reason why traveling is great. This is a very special Bonsai garden. The cove next to Sharks Cove on the north side of Oahu. The keeper of the garden is a homeless old Japanese lady who has taken this cove over and made it her own. She lives in her make shift tent. The public ablution block is her bathroom and if she runs short of cash she sometimes borrows from the local firemen and always insists on paying back on time and with interest!!! (This info direct from those firemen who supply the loan). The local authority leaves her alone while all other squatters get moved on. She earns her keep by maintaining such a beautiful water front. We watched her saying a little prayer over her little trees. Her tools: a pair of nail scissors.
A lesson in non verbal and "just accepted" co operation. ............This is her garden! Note the detail.
She declined to be photographed in courteous Japanese style.
