BillyBob > I must have been walking pretty quietly, because I found a doe and her baby, near the trail.  The picture was a little blurry because I wanted to get a picture of them before they ran away.
BillyBob > The white marble sarcophagus contains the remains of an unidentified soldier from World War I.  The three marble slabs in the plaza marks the graves of the World War II, Korea, and Vietnam Unknowns.  

The remains of the Vietnam Unknown were exhumed May 14, 1998. Based on DNA testing, DoD scientists identified the remains as those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, who was shot down near An Loc, Vietnam, in 1972.  Since 1998, the crypt that contained the remains of the Vietnam Unknown has remained vacant.
BillyBob > An overhead view of the Central Garden.  I was too tired to venture down and take pictures.  I only had 4 hours of sleep in the previous 24 hours.
BillyBob > I consider this the best picture I took that day.  I actually tried to frame and compose this one, and I think it came out alright.  This statue was near the sculpture garden leading to one of the photography exhibits.
BillyBob > Mike at the base of Tangerine Falls.
BillyBob > Located between Kensington Palace and Kensington Gardens is the Sunken Garden.  In this picture, the sun is setting behind me as I take a picture of the garden.
