Tucked away on the campus of Cal State Long Beach is a charming and small Japanese Garden.   Unlike the large Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, this one takes just a few minutes to enjoy.  Here is some of what we saw on our way to the Belmont Shore Sand Sculpture Festival:

At the heart of the garden in a pond reflecting the overcast skies of Long Beach.

A bridge arches over the cascade of water tumbling off a rocky waterfall in the garden.

Another view of the pond.  The bridge is to the left in this photo.
