Monday, June 9, 2008. Yes indeed, yesterday was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I was reminded again of my favorite quote--the one listed on this blog: "There was so much to see in the world that I felt one couldn't afford to be slack about it."
So I followed Paul Scott's advice and walked up the steep slope to Washington Park and on the Rose Garden. Not surprisingly, I had lots of company. Of course I had my camera--as did just about everyone else.
Then I found a path up the Japanese Garden. Lizzie and I wound our way up to main entrance and discovered they don't allow dogs into the Garden itself. Not surprised. Nonetheless, it's a lovely path through woods up to the entrance.
On the way back it occurred to me that I have not seen many Asians in Portland, compared to Seattle. There were some East Indians at the Rose Garden, but as I get around town, I'm struck by how "white" it is. And young. Seems like 20 and 30-year olds are the predominant age group.
Anyway, it was a lovely day, and I'll send some of the flower pictures on Daily Sightings soon. Cheers.
