It's really nice! And surprisingly quiet, if you go in the middle of the week you might be the only person there.

Those first and third pics look intriguing. But I love the second one - it looks so peaceful. Would love to walk through the grove one day... *dreams about it* :)

Yessss, you must come! That little temple is one of my favorites--in the fall all of the maples turn brilliant red and it's so beautiful...
