While we were waiting recently for the Japanese Gardens to open in the Washington Park Arboretum, we could see that people where already inside. It turns out that members who are photographers have private access from time to time.

As we walked in after it opened to the general public, one of these photographers was still hard at work. At first glance, you might think it's a vagrant who has found an odd place to nap. But it was just a guy trying to get a good shot of backlit Japanese maple leaves. I hope it worked for him. :-)
