A view of place....

[kyrielle]

Okay, the title is just a play on my earlier post, but here are some pictures from my day out Saturday:

Looking straight up a tree at the Japanese Gardens. Why? I suppose because it was there - but it made what I think is a neat shot.

Also from the Gardens, a lantern in a pond, a rivulet of water up close, a plant whose name I do not know, and some mushrooms.

Then in the art category, there's the train near the forestry center (okay, that's stretching art slightly, but it is on display), the mask sculpture at PGE Park, and a very Oregon statue at Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Powell's Technical Books is not that small either, even if the main store is a whole block. It also has cats on the sign! Yay, cats!

A random building because I liked the line of the roof.

Butterfly shots from the Oregon Zoo's new butterfly exhibit.

Also from the Zoo, two shots of a Bald Eagle - one in flight (and slightly blurry) and one just settling on the glove.

And two shots of a leopard, both blurry due to lighting conditions. Being there was much cooler.

That statue reminds me of one in IC. Where Linn meets Iowa, there's a T-intersection, and there's a statue of a man hold up his fedora like he's greeting someone, and every time I see that, I look for the cab he's hailing.
