Ruby Tuesday: Bridge
Where will it take me,
crimson bridge spanning small stream?
Shall I cross over?

There’s a bridge that would be fun to cross. Or dawdle and look underneath.
Although you can’t tell it from the photo, it was raining the day I crossed the bridge–and I had to do it gingerly, lest I slip. Had it been a sunny day (rare at this time of year in British Columbia), I would have taken your suggestion and dawdled or looked underneath!
That must have been in a Japanese or Chinese garden. It looks so inviting.
You are exactly right! It is the Japanese garden–a most serene and magnificent place–at The Butchart Gardens!
How I love to stop by that bridge
Cling on the crimson rails
And throw stones in the stream!
That stream is pretty small for throwing stones in. How about some tiny pebbles instead? 🙂

that’s a fabulous bridge! i’d love to pose on the crimson rails.:p
Oh, the bridge was fabulous indeed–and my photo doesn’t do it justice.
Lovely bridge, it looks like it would be in a beautiful garden.
If I could transport that bridge to my backyard garden, I’d be happy indeed! 🙂
It looks like a bridge one wouldn’t want to burn.
Of course not! Because then how would you move from one side of the magical stream to the other? How would you get from the profane side to the sacred? 🙂
I’ve always wanted to turn our back yard into a Japanese garden!!! Love the red bridge!!
Maybe this will inspire you to do what your heart has long desired…
Beautiful red bridge! Thanks for visiting!
It’s a stunningly beautiful bridge! I’m glad you were drawn to it also.
Lovely red photo!
After blue, red is my next favorite color. My eye is always drawn to red–and blue!
very pretty i can imaigine a mystical place that the bridge leads too
And where might that mystical place be? 🙂
What a serene looking spot, lovely photo.
Even though the rain was falling, quite heavily at times, the day we visited, the Japanese garden was a haven of peace, this spot in particular.
lovely little bridge
Yes, it is lovely. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a redder red!
Oh, the Japanese garden! It’s always such a special place to visit.
You know it much better than I, I’m sure. May it always be a special place for you!
Nothing like the Japanese section of any garden! This is another beautiful scene created by the Japanese. I saw so many of these kinds of scenes while visiting Japan in the last few years…such fond memories!
I’m glad the photo awakened good memories for you! This was my first experience ever in a Japanese garden. It won’t be the last.
I was hit by the biggest smack of deja vu when I saw this and read this, Mary. No matter; it felt great.
Deja vu isn’t always bad! 🙂
The bridge is a fine arc over the water below. A cute crossing, it sits as a wonderful adornment in the woods…
I agree, Ralph! I’m savoring your description of the bridge…
Beautiful picture. Wish I had that in my backyard!
Thanks for stopping by, Alisa. I think many backyards would be improved by the addition of a crimson bridge! 🙂
A very cute little bridge! It looks as if it could lead to some fantasy land!
