Japanese Gardens...
The other day, Rachel and I took a little day trip down to the Japanese Gardens in Richmond. I hadn't spent too much time in Richmond, mostly just in passing. I was pretty impressed by the city as a whole. Since it's the state capital, it has much more of a city feel to it. There are a lot of colleges in the area, so there are lots of cool little shops, cafe's, book stores and stuff like that. I would definitely like to go back for more exploring.
A friend of Rachel's recommend going down to see the gardens. Rachel and I planned to go down over the summer, but the weather never seemed to cooperate. It was either 100 degrees or raining. So we finally caught a break and had great weather. Temperatures in the upper 70's, and a nice breeze. Made for a lovely day. The gardens are located inside of a 100 acre park. The park has a really nice lake, which is where we unpacked our lunch and ate.
Here are some of my favorite pics from the day there. The pictures don't do it justice. I kept waiting for Mr. Miagi to walk out and kick my ass. "What are you doing in my backyard!!! HAAAAYAAA!!!!" It was pretty amazing.
The rest of the pics can be seen here

Glad you and Rachel had fun. Those are some amazing pictures. How far is Richmond from you guys?
IS that a new camera or a new fiture on the camer you discovered? Seriously put those in your portfolio. You never know you can get a gig as a photographer some times for weddings, birthdays, christenings, portraits. Put a little ad in a local party paper and with a link to our portfolio shot. Just make sure no one can copy the pictures from the shot. But your a computer guru you know how. Heh heh.
Richmond is about 80 miles away. So you can usually make it down there in about an hour and a half depending on traffic.
Same camera, just some new techniques I learned in Photoshop.
