Photo Hunt Saturday

This week's theme is: Paper. I took this photo in July of this year at the Portland Japanese Gardens (a big thanks to Molly for recommending the visit before I left). The photo is of a conceptual art project by Yoko Ono. One writes a wish on a slip of paper & then hangs it in the Wish Tree. Yoko says she remembers writing her wishes at the temple gardens in Japan and the trees there looking like they were filled with delicate white flowers. (Yes, I wrote a wish & hung it in the tree. Duh.)

This concept looked like the one in Hong Kong where they hang their wishes onto a tree behind the temple. Nice sharing here. Happy Weekend!

I need a wish tree too. But do your wishes become realities? Great photo and have a good weekend.
