Man, did I luck out on finding this job! And when introducing me, everyone keeps adding on to the end "and she's an envorinmental studies student, too!" - it's like a selling point.

And since everyone is in such a great mood, being at the register is much less stressful that in other jobs I've had...

More of the Japanese Garden
Some of the Water Garden (where most of the lotus flowers are, although the Japanese Garden has a small group of them, too):
Pics of one of the pools (that wasn't turned into a pond). The bottom is a really intense light blue, however, it's way overexposed & appears super light - the color in the shadows is closer, but still not as pretty as the real thing.
The main house:
And one of the smallest lizards I've seen here (as of yesterday he was the smallest, but I think an even smaller baby was on the path to the laundry room):
Oh, and they have quail there. FUCKIN QUAIL!!!! YAY!!!!!
