San Francisco - Japanese Gardens

The second day of our San Francisco getaway

involved heading out to Golden Gate Park 

and the Japanese Tea Gardens.

The Gardens were absolutely beautiful,

definitely one of my favorite parts of the trip,

and the misty foggy weather just added to the mystical setting.

On this day I only brought my new zoom lens

which provided a challenge to take photos in a new way.

I actually love how a lot of these pictures turned out.
