This is a continuation of last Tuesday's My World post....from Maymont Park in Richmond Virginia... these photos are from my daughter's camera...(as my batteries died)...have you ever had that happen to you in such a lovely place...and I couldn't believe I didn't have my spare batteries...! Many thanks to my daughter for allowing me to take so many photos on her camera...and for taking me with them to Richmond as babysitter! That was fun! Especially Maymont Park, well, and the baby sitting of course. This was one of the prettiest (Japanese) Gardens I have been in...and yet I find these photos don't do it justice. Sometimes the best memories are in the mind and not in the camera where you thought they would be! Well, in mine, or a borrowed one at least! I was quite captivated by a bright red bird that flew down so close, and my son in law was very clever and managed to capture it mid flight...!! The lake was quite Monet-esque...or is that Manet I am thinking of... Ti...
