I travelled with my mom to Japan many years ago. I remember one of the most peaceful sounds was at the tea gardens where we would sit and all I could hear was the water flowing and sometimes hearing the bamboo stalk water fountain filling with water, dropping and flipping back up.

So relaxing...

A wonderful picture. So peaceful. So beautiful. I love how the sun glitters in the water. I would like to just side beside this spring and living life in peace and just be with my thought and the nature. So peaceful.
