Pete The Elder: Tea Gardens

Tea Gardens

Here are the pictures I took two weeks ago of the Japanese Tea Gardens here in San Antonio. You can tell in the last picture of the gate that these gardens were briefly called the Chinese Tea Gardens in the 1940's. Here are the previous pictures I took at the Tea Gardens.

These were all taken with my Kodak Easyshare Z700, which I recommend as a fairly good camera for under $200. It has 4 megapixels, 5X optical zoom, and an optical view finder. It also does not seem to use that much power as I put in some brand new Energizer rechargeable 2200 mAh NIMH batteries and have taken around 150 pictures with the first pair of batteries and they are still going. I got the Z700 on Amazon for $179 and they threw in a free 256 MB memory card. It also has a very good grip for your right hand so even though it is fairly small, it is easy to grip and use.

Update: To see all the photos I have taken with this camera, including the San Antonio missions, go here.
