The next 3 pictures show something I found very humerous. These were all taken from the Japanese garden. I took this standing on a small platform. My only guess is that people tended to feed the ducks and fish from the platform. The fish would actually stick their mouths out of the water to get food. The ducks didn't seem to appreciate the fish "stealing" their food. The ducks would chase the fish out of the way - but it would only last for a moment. I'm not sure if this is really what was going on - but it sure seemed like it to me. Either that or the ducks just don't want to share the spotlight! 8/99

This was taken from a park during a walk. Originally I was trying to show the white flowers in the lower left. However, after framing that shot, I decided I wanted to include a wider view. Maybe I missed getting the flowers in the forefront... but I like the shot any way. 8/99
