Ten more photos of the Japanese Gardens up at Buzznet. And I've still more to go, just, ten a day's the limit. Plus, I took the CD I'd finished (of photographs to donate to the Gardens), added a letter (pity the woman: hand-written, and to add insult to injury, I gave into the temptation to use the metallic blue gel pen - which is pretty easy on the eyes, but I know my handwriting is not everyone's favorite thing to have to read, since it's a bit sloppy - trust me, it used to be worse), and got it into a media mailing envelope. Now I just have to take it to the post office.

I'll take it to the one second-nearest work tomorrow, most likely. The closest is open until 5 pm, so I could take it there, but it's just off Boones Ferry...and I have never seen it. It would be easy to miss, and at that hour the only way I'd get out of the parking lot would be to turn right on BF, which would lead to taking it to I-5, which takes for-freaking-ever since it's 30-35 the whole way and usually packed, with people pulling left turns. The Tigard post office is open until six. They are actually further away, and are also in a direction away from home - but it will be a quick jaunt up past I-5. I'll probably take the 72nd street exit - more annoying surface streets, but the merge of Kruse Way into 217 with the new flyover ramp is almost always a nightmare at rush hour. Unless it's atypically cooperative, the nightmare surface streets (which are not hard to navigate, it just involves three left turns at traffic lights) will be faster. Besides, there are two left turns involved in the other path (which is why the traffic jam is enough to make me avoid it). Leaving, I'll go the other way because then that is easier.

Yes, I overplan things. Is there anyone who didn't know that? It takes much longer to write it out than it does for my mind to flash on the logistics and make sure I know what I'm doing, though. I had that just in the time it took me to seal the mailer and set it aside. I'm just babbling tonight for some reason.

And photos. *beams* I realy hope they use some of them. That would be beyond cool.

I love your garden photos---they are very soothing to my spirit---and I cannot imagine why they wouldn't use some. I still wish they were bigger though... looking at a 400x300 photo on a 1600x1200 monitor makes it a little hard to grasp the complete beauty that's there. :) I know... I know.

I really like this one...

Maybe you could send me a bigger version that I could use for wallpaper?
