Pond With Carp
These were the most rowdy of the koi we saw in Japan. There were fish food stands along the water (honor system to pay) and the fish knew that people meant feeding time.
Garden And Pond
This is the view as you walk into the park. With the haziness, I wasn't happy with the photo, but I'm sure you could do a lot with a long lens.
Yellow Iris With Ants
I think the ants help give you scale here. It somewhat looks like the background is just fading into fog, but it's actually the small pond behind.
