hah-- dry in Seattle? It's not happy for the fish when it's dry over there and especially with the National Guard off in some strange country can't be so good for the State parks. I think you're still thinking about that pic in SeaTimes/ P-I of the fish that crossed the highway...

thanks for the wonderful pictures of the Japanese gardens. They're totally unforgettable. What about the ones in the south area? they're not as heavily visited... sorry forgot which district but think West Seattle
