Japanese Tea Gardens | California | Antelope Island | SCA Pictures | Misc.

Japanese Tea Gardens - A gorgeous picture of the foliage with a castle-like structure in the background. Golden Gate Park, Japanese Tea Gardens, San Francisco, CA.

Tea Gardens - Another picture of the Tea Gardens, with my four lovely cousins modeling near a waterfall. From left to right, there's Jason, Nathan, and Stephanie, with Brandon in the front.

Tea Gardens; Shrine - Here is a pretty shot of the flora and something else... I think it's some sort of shrine, but I'm not sure. If you know, could you please let me know?

Tea Gardens Bridge - A picture of a very cool arched bridge with my four Greco cousins modeling for me again.

Japanese Tea Gardens - A statue of Buddha, with bamboo growing nearby. Golden Gate Park, Japanese Tea Gardens, San Francisco, CA.

Tea Gardens - A picture of my cousins again, standing near a stream. Notice the moss on the stepping stones. Gorgeous! Please excuse the red bits on it. I was walking throught the redwood forest, rewinding my film. The camera said it was done rewinding, so I opened it only to find it was not done. Several pictures were ruined, and some got red smears on them.

Tea Gardens - Another lovely shot of the foliage in the tea gardens.

Tea Gardens - Yes, another picture of my cousins. Check out the magnificent building behind them!

Tea Gardens - Do I hear a drumroll? This is me, yes me! I'm standing near an archway. Similar, I suppose, to those you would walk under to go to a temple. Again, like the shrines, I'm not sure about this, so if YOU know, please inform me.

Santa Cruz Bay - A picture taken from the pier leading to the Cement Boat in Santa Cruz County. If you look hard enough, you can see Monterey on the other side of the bay. Santa Cruz, CA.

Redwood Forest - This is my good friend Scott Adair in a Redwood park we went to. I'm not positive what the name of the park was, but it's near Santa Cruz, CA

Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Syracuse, UT. This is my friend Deanna and myself on an outing to Antelope Island. You must do some serious hiking to get this far out on Buffalo Pointe (I think that's what it's called, if my memory serves me). But the view is well worth it.

Deanna Woods at Antelope Island, the next Diet Coke model... or at least that's what we thought at the time. This is also from our hiking trip on Antelope Island.

Antelope Island - another great shot of Deanna doing her best to become a paid employee of Coca-Cola Co. Too bad it never happened, huh?

Antelope Island - a great shot of the most beautiful sunset I ever experienced... well, experienced that summer anyway.

House Gryphon Star - Well... part of it. Uprising 1998; (left to right) Alexander, Caerana, Duncan, Mara, and Rachel in front)

Knights in Training - It's a small picture, but too cute to leave out. Two children fighting with boffers under the Baroness of Loch Salann's watchful eye. Harvest War 1998 (Mantua, Utah)

Duncan McKinley - Can you possibly get a sweeter smile?

Harvest War 1999 - Say cheese, Jekusu!!! Or be cheese. Whatever. Just look heroic.

Xela 1995 - Xela was a group of beautiful women who sang and danced, bonded and loved. We defined ourselves, and we defined our songs.
