Leach Botanical Gardens

Last posting of our weekend in the sun, just in time for it to be another weekend!  Hopefully, the rains that have returned this week will go away again.

Leach Botanical Gardens in Portland is a nice place to visit on a warm day to enjoy the beauty of the plants, and get in their cooling environment.  We see some birds now and again here, but mainly we go to see the plants and find a cool and quiet place in the busy city to find peace and quiet.

First up a collage of the buildings on the grounds, and a couple of the pretty Camilla flowers that were blowing so nicely.


The next collage is of several of the different paths and stairways on the grounds.  Very interesting to see all these.


Lastly, a little surprise we found in one of the fields.

A painted dinosaur!  Pretty nifty guy, if you ask me.  I don't know what's up with that small figure in front of it.













So that wraps up our sunny weekend.  I'll leave you with this parting smile.

See you soon!
