The actor who played "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers movies was there for a little bit because his tricked out Chrysler Crossfire was part of the Dub display.  I guess he had already made his appearance and was on his way out soon after we got to the exhibit.  He seemed kind of rude because as he left he didn't really wave to the crowd even though there were a lot of people calling out to him and stuff.  Not sure what that was about. P

As we were leaving the Japanese garden area, I noticed this lady sitting by the waterfall across the lake.  This picture is taken at full 15x optical zoom, handheld.  I was holding the H9 at about hip level and tilted the LCD to frame the shot.  

Since I am a rather shy photographer, using the 15x zoom for street photography would be helpful. :)
