IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A teddy bear inspects his patch of the garden.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
As usual, I planned to do a different image - I wanted to model my
own garden and then do an entry which showed my plans for it.  However,
the garden's still too overgrown for it to be practical to measure it
in detail!  So I started remodelling the previously-unseen garden of
the house I made for the Unbelievable round.  I didn't finish doing
that, as I decided to zoom in on only a small part of it.  Some of the
detail that's visible in this image can't be seen clearly as it is.

I may have missed something, but all the L-systems parsers I could find
run as separate applications, so I tried writing one in the form of POV
macros.  There are still bugs in it, but it was used to model the plants in
this scene anyway.

The teddy bear file isn't in the zip file, as I think I've included it
in enough previous zip files.
