Two different focus points for the same basic shot. Which one do you like best? I'm torn.

Across the water and behind a couple of ducks, an interesting path edge by the lake.

A feature found in Japanese gardens. Gnarly trees.

If these weren't side by side, and I was to guess what the close up was... I'd have to guess a sewer grate. I like the full building shot because it's not trying to trick me.

Exploring the grounds.

Thank you. I'm still teaching myself, and occasionally, I get lucky. I consider comments like this inspiration that I'm accomplishing my goal of getting better.

A nice place anytime of the year. Will definitely have to return for the cherry blossoms.

Late in the season but still nice.

The Park sign faces the streets but the entrance is long way off. Goes to show you that its for attracting tourists.

Pine Cones. Oozing sap. Almost looks Christmassy.

On a hill in the park, looking South, It almost looks like it goes on forever. It certainly looks dry.

Close up of Daisies. The dark under the plant almost looks like it was staged. It was not.

South Park School (No relation to the animated one). I waited for a bit to capture this while people kept using the sidewalk in front.
