It has been a while since I posted about Portland, so here is a new photo.
Portland has a great zoo. I guess I did not realize that untill I saw other zoos in other places, and expecially those that are mostly cement and steel. The zoo here is full of grasses and natural settings, and seems much more friednly, comfortable and acessable than others I have seen. I was there the weekend of the biggest event in the city, which brought a lot of people out. It was also the first nice day in weeks, and the sun made the crowd even larger, so there were a lot of people there.
The last few times I was there, the giraffes were inside because of illness, but this day they were out, and I got this shot of some of the crowd checking things out. The animal walked around and then ate some food, and it was amazing how graceful and agile he (or she, I don't know) seemed. It was pretty cool to see.
