Close to Pond Experience

Today I was invited to come a long to a Marc Chagall exhibition in Ueno, learned lots of new things about the Russian-French painter. Then after the exhibit we went down to the pond in Ueno koen, to see if the Lotus still were blooming. This is the pond that in 2004 made me buy a new camera that would allow me to zoom. I realised that I was in need of that after almost falling into the dark and muddy waters underneath the flowers. But of course I did not bring the zoom lens today, and was once again living on the edge, of the pond. Managed to get a few really nice photos though.
