Mare!! :)))))))) What an honor! Thank you for this very awesome dedication. Our time together was so precious. You planned the perfect day and it was. Forever in my heart, just as you are. I had no idea our Monastery was the 2nd largest in the USA! I'd say Wei Tuo Bodhissattva is doing as great a job of protecting it as you did taking his photo!! Talk about beautiful memories for us both. A quiet day spent in our element! Together!! :) -Love, Royal Palm :D Hahahaha! (See Jeff's comment). #11423747

Thanks for commenting, everybody.
And, Pom, you mentioned the monastery the other night, and inspired me to look for a suitable capture. Guess that makes you my monastery muse. ;-D
P.S. Jeff's comment WAS cute, eh? #11423971

Mary K. Robison January 18, 2016

Thanks, Ellen and Terry. Glad you like this. And, yes, we had a wonderful time. By some great fortune, we were not bumping into other visitors. Aside from a few nuns and monks, the monastery was uncrowded that day, enabling us to take photos of shrines, etc., without someone stepping into the photo. :) #11424357

An impressive figure, that's for sure. And all the golden hues and details greatly captured, Mary. #11424433
