Spring Continues

Columbia River Gorge - Horsetail and Ponytail Falls

Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Go Crazy

If you're in the Portland area, head east along the Historic Highway and be amazed at the amount of water spilling everywhere. Must be quite a snow-melt this year.

Ponytail Falls

Portland Chinese Garden

Just a peek. It's a traditional Chinese garden covering one small, square block in downtown Portland. We didn't have enough $$$ to visit that day, but I'll be back. It's lovely in there.

Made in Oregon

The downtown Portland "Made in Oregon" sign is going through some changes. Its building's new owner, University of Oregon, wants to change the wording to "University of Oregon." City preservationists are saying, "Nay! Never!". Stay tuned...

The sign at night in all its glory.

Last Golden Gate Park post for a while

The M.H. de Young Museum with those trees that always get hacked back every year, then grow thousands of sucker branches that have to be hacked again. San Francisco's City Hall is rife with them as well. What are these trees? Someone help me out here. Oh, and a palm tree.
