A local artist composes a scene of the Steel Bridge in Portland. The weather was nice this day. Everyone was out doing what they enjoyed: bicyclists, joggers, walkers, photographers, and artists.

Here is another picture from my tour of the Oregon Zoo last November. This is a Straw-Colored Fruit Bat (Eidolon Helvum).

Just hangin’. =)

He leadeth the people while riding his mighty steed!! This is an anti-war demonstration by the Occupy Portland group as they all seemed content in following the attacking, wheelie-happy cyclist. I don’t know if he was the designated drum major of this particular marching band but there he was. You know, this had to have been the happiest protest I’ve seen. Most had a smile on their face and some were even laughing and snickering in between megaphone chants. Aren’t these things supposed to be bitter? You know, full of ire?? With fists in the air???

I must admit I’m glad it was civil since I was standing in the middle of the whole thing. =)

This was an interesting four-piece parade shootin’ down 6th street in the middle of the Portland skyline: a guy on a skateboard leading another dude riding a wheelie with two other cyclists giving yours truly the stink-eye. Ah, youth! How I miss being a punk-ass bitch. =)

At least most of them were wearing safety helmets.
