Nailed it.
A place for my photos and thoughts and stuff.

Lovely, as usual. Although the city hypes them a lot for maybe a dozen or so trees in the whole park.

Never did find out what was so interesting in this tree. You’d think bigfoot was roosting in there or something.
She is the Queen of the Wallow.

It’s an absolute miracle that she sat still long enough to get this picture.

Or just plain stupid?
Yes, someone parked a Bentley in the Mitsuwa parking lot, the most hazardous parking lot in the history of all mankind.

Quite rare to see these around here. It was so nice of them to hold still for the photo.

More spots, more luck! I’ll take it!

…but I’d say a trouble-making doggo is in the vicinity…
