Friedhelm and I went to the Japanese Gardens at Woodward Park in Fresno Yesterday.

Along with some great water features, foliage and bridges was this fellow trying to impress the ladies. From our point of view he was impressing  us more than the ladies that were wandering around. If you are in the area you have to visit this wonderful park.  There are ample opportunities for the photographer and a nice place to relax. After looking at my photographs I’m sure I’ll be going back soon. There’s always a couple I could have done a better job with.

I’ve been to the Merced Wildlife Refuge many times and even though there are a lot of rabbits around I’ve never really tried to get a photograph, too fast, too far.

While taking photographs of a wildflower I noticed this rabbit out of the corner of my eye. I expected it to run off so I took a couple of quick photos with the wrong lens. This fellow (?) just stayed there going about his business never more than 10 feet away. I had time to change lenses, set my tripod up and here’s the shot.
