Bridges over May Creek

So we took a walk today,
About 7/8ths of a mile to Kubota Gardens.
Nice place.

When we got home I grabbed the camera and headed back in order to share the event with you all.
And Y'all, too.

There is still snow on the ground there.







And ice on the ponds.






And waterfalls.



This is also the first bridge.
That little gray arc to the right.



Moving upstream from the pumphouse.



A little further upstream.



Two views of the short bridge.





Lemme tellya something about taking pictures in a Japanese garden.
All the composition has already been done for ya.

Sayonara.

Becoming quite the lensman, sir. I always drove past the Kubota Gardens; never ventured inside. Thanks for the mini-tour. You are certainly correct about the composition of the shots; each one in balance.

I had a hellish medical treatment yesterday. It was just my turn. On any one day on a busy medical ward, one or two patients just have everything go wrong. What is interesting is when I fussed about it, always being my own advocate, I was informed that the nurses were "very busy" and that I "was not the only patient on the ward."
What I felt like screaming was,"Cut the bullshit. Don't talk to me like that. I work in a hospital. I have been coming here for 13 years and have had over 300 of these treatments, so quit blaming me for your incompetence and bad day."--but of course, I didn't. Like most of the others on the ward, I just counted the hours until I could get the hell out of there. I get to return there today for Round II, the end of the year treatment. Oh lucky me.

I have been having an X-FILES festival at home over this last week. I taped most all of the episodes, even during the final season where Muldar was mostly not there. That series was just so well done. I am enjoying the revisitation.

We are going to our Pinocle Party New Year's celebration for the 10th straight year. It is attended mostly by church members we once knew when we went more often, like several years ago, and friends we have hung on to in the interim.

Hope the New Year comes in strong and true at the Palmer Palace there on Redwing. Jeez, 71 comments on your last posting. The Anono gang to become wound up at times, enit?

I think Glenn was trying to say, in his last sentence, the anonymous gang DO get wound up at times, enit? His fingers just get tongue-tied.

Or, alternately, one could insert the word "tend" between "gang" and "to".
