Green Greenwald was a groundskeeper for 9 years at an estate that had over 700 bonsai trees, formal
Japanese gardens, and a large koi pond. Over the koi pond was a latticed shade. This sun filter made
striped reflections on the water, as fish stirred these 'stripes' to make fascinating patterns. "Lattice
patterns on the rocks and water, the sun-exposed areas, where the fish become 'ghosts' beneath the surface,
the pebbles that appear and disappear to the bamboo and kiwi around the pond, all captivated my imagination
for years. Ah, but it's all in the eye of the beholder. So, please, behold, begin, be my guest— and
may all your beholding be be—autiful!"
