Light in the Japanese garden

We visited the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum at the National Arboretum, reputed to hold one of the finest collections of miniature masterpieces in North America, with bonsai originating from Japan and penjing from China.

This beautiful tree was used as a barrier at the entry to the Japanese garden. I was trying to capture the stone lantern on the path, but the leaves were just too bright to get it, plus it was so windy, they kept moving all over the place.
