Yesterday we promised you the view on the other side of that scary rope bridge. Here it is! (note: this is not the view from the bridge...you can see the bridge in the top of the first photo) A traditional Japanese tea house partially surrounded by a serene pond.

**All last week and this week, we've been featuring photos of the gardens at Les Quatre Vents, the home of Frank and Anne Cabot in Quebec. If you'd like read more about this garden, check out this interview with Frank Cabot that ran in the April 2005 issue of Fine Gardening. Frank also whote a book about the garden. You can get it on Amazon here.**
