[IzzieK]

I spy with my little eye.........

1. Convoy of turtles overview…



2. A convoy of turtles

I took this one slightly at the right of the Japanese Garden where they have



3. fishies where kids (and adults) can feed them.



4. Hi !!! -- Someone must have dropped this worker's glove and put it at the gate...



5. Here He comes… : I lost my husband somewhere…so I called him up on my cell and here he come while I was at the Ottoman Garden, annoying the hell out of a woman taking a shot of the sundial there. I decided to be her pest for the day.



6. Bald Cypress Knees : Prolific in Eastern and southern United States, these are knobby structures around cypress trees that grows only where it is near water.

7. Schmoyer Sunquest : This unique sundial displays daylight savings time. The moveable part on the dial's axis (called the gnomon) cast shadows. Time is indicated by a band of sunlight between two shadows on the time scale.

Designed by Richard L. Schmoyer (1915-1997) of Landisville, Pennsylvania in 1959. This was placed at the garden by the North American Sundial Society on August of 2008.

Interesting set of images Izzie. I sometimes feel that I have Cypress Knees, particularly when there is a lot of water around.

Interestind set Isabel My best is #2, I would crop it from right till the branch in the middle for a better look if the image was mine.

Izzie - I like this series! The glove and the sundial really appeal to me - the glove for the uniqueness and bit of humor, and the sundial for the precision and elegance of the design. I would be interested to see what the sundial looked like cropped a bit more to the left to include the complete knob. Very fun series - thanks for sharing these!

Thanks for the morning laugh...sorry, didn't see your response until this yawning (any response for that matter to anything at all that is..) because of Cypress Knees myself. (nooo...had an eyelid operation yesterday...too groggy to go to CiC...)

Thank you for your comment and feedback. I always appreciate them very much.

I tried diffferent crops when I was processing this one (one of the three shots) but this one came up better than I thought it will be for other ones. It was the shot that annoyed me because one of the gardeners came and asked me to keep out of the grassed area. Then when I left, some kids that came from feeding the fishies trampled on the grass and was never asked to go away...

Thanks for looking and commenting and giving me feedback Binnur...'appreciate it very much...

Diane, thank you for looking and commenting and giving me a nice and kind feedback. The sundial is as is...the only thing I removed from that shot was the part of the door that was included in the shot...It was the end of our long day there so I had not been looking at my composition...As soon as I get back to "normal" I will upload the whole shot or shots..

'Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks Marie and Greg...for commenting. I really appreciate your passing by...and I better go back to bed again. I have not been feeling well with that stupid pain medicine prescribed to me by surgeon. I should have known better not to take them because I knew that I was going to have a bad reaction to it...

Gotta go...thanks for the comments. I appreciate them very much...

[Ziggy]

Nice variety of shots Izzie.

Number 4 looks like a Micheal Jackson tribute.
