Way back in June when Lynn came for a visit we went to the nearby Japanese Gardens they have here. Very nice place and great for pics. Finally put some up on Flickr at the link below. Here's a sample pic too.

No problem. It's really a beautiful place. We had lunch in a restaurant on the grounds there too. I want to try and go back in the winter.
This is the place if you want to learn more. It's known worldwide.

I agree, great pictures, really nice looking place. When you come over to the Northwest with Lynn, I'll take you to some awesome places like that!

Have to take you up on that offer sometime. Lynn liked feeding the monster sized koi fish.

I don't like sushi. One of the rare Asian foods that I just don't care for.

We had sushi last Thursday, love sushi.

I've never tried it but it doesn't appeal much.

Do you have the next picture in the sequence where the fish leap out of the water and eat the duck? They're pretty huge creatures, my kids would love them!
