Zen gardens and wildlife
Even in the 39 degree heat of the day, there was always someone, or something interesting to spot at as we wandered around Kyoto. The gardens were serene, as you would expect from the zen tradition, and even the wildlife added to the exotic feel of the Far East.

Your dragonfly shot is amazing. Look for a suitable competition to put it in (or have you photographed someone else's shot). Love it - better than your million bird/flower shots.

Thanks- this is an original.
Whilst on the topic of photo comps, one of Trent's shots was selected for honorable mention in a Korea Tourism competition- he won 100,000won- equivalent to about $135 Aussie dollars.
