Bok Tower Part II
The first pond by the tower [I guess I did have a picture of the tower... kind of...] had these guys. They were really big *goldfish* nothing like the ones from my Escape post! Maybe two of these guys could fit in my fish tank- maybe. There were a few REALLY big fish in here but every time one of them would pop up, I would stand there gaping at it through the camera- thus missing a cool photo opportunity.~*~
I walked on down to another little area and I found this:
It was so pretty.
~*~
SIDE NOTE:
I was told that there were two swans that lived here- but one got swept away in one of those hurricanes that took over and caused so much trouble :'(
~*~
I stood there watching it for a while- taking in its beauty- then I finally took a few pictures. Then I started to laugh. It started out as a smile... But soon the giggles took over. My friend was looking at me all weird but I decided I'd tell him why I was laughing once we got back to the house.
~*~
This is why I was laughing:
He is a little beaten up [notice the tape around its neck...], lacking a tail and wings- but this is MY Mute Swan. I created this "paper muh-shane" masterpiece in the first grade. [I'll have to look around for the book I made to go along with the "report" I wrote...] But yeah, back to Bok Tower...
~*~
I was going to save this last bit for another post, but I needed to get your minds off of my swan... So here is just a little sample of all of that green that we were surrounded by:
When I posted this picture- while writing the above, I noticed a little critter blending in with the green... It's like *Where's Waldo* only its a little critter... His name can be Waldo for now ^_^

Yeah, I enjoyed the commentary, too. Those coy fish are something else. My eyes are too tired to see Waldo.
Love the swan!
Know what makes me happy? Spreading more useless poetry across Blogger. This one about some actress girl sleeping with the dude of some other actress girl - because that's what's important in life. And check out this cool bonsai tree I saw in Japan. It had to have taken 200 years to make that.
The reflection of the tower and swan are amazing........
I'm glad you like Thomas :D
Grunt, I don't want tell you where Waldo is *cough* bottom right *cough* because it might ruin it for others... ^_^
I loved it too Fraser- that was the highlight of my trip :)
Moderator, no worries- the last poem was... entertaining :P I'll be sure to check this one out as well

Cool post...the goldfish pond looks nice. I just posted a swan picture myself...what is it they say about great minds? :o)
hahahah very creative indeed

You were a talented first grader. And I am imagining you as a sentimental adult since you still have your mute swan.
omg omg omg
my Koi pond has 1 Koi in it and 2 Japanese ornate goldfish...
well, last season they got their groove on and there's a lil' all black colored baby!
this past monday i was looking at 'em, and noticed it's shadow shot off in the wrong direction!
EEEEP! there's (2) of them!

Thanks so much Markis :)
Hobbs, I don't know what that means... :\
Thanks Annie- I have a bunch of boxes [some things are out and around the house] filled with things from school- from my first brown paper bag puppets to essays and term papers. I guess I'm a bit of a pack-rat :\
Hehe- "babers" ... you are too cute, B ^_^
