Something I came across by chance in Florida - the Morikami museum and their must-see Japanese garden. I was just starting to head out to look at the gardens when a huge thunderstorm came down without warning, so I ran back inside, and sat in the cafe and ate unagi-don while about two inches of rain came down over a half hour.

The rain did not let up, so I only saw the garden from a distance, but the museum was hosting an exhibition of Japanese monster figurines:



A few cell phone photos of some especially amusing ones below the cut.







Wonder if this guy was responsible for the BP spill:

Ha! I remember Pestar! Ultraman was one of my favourite shows on TV as a kiddie!

Those are actually disguised antennas on Ambassador Magma. I've been broadcasting for a few months now.

(Don't tell the FCC.)

That thing with the eyeball peering out of the pink matrix is really creepy...
