Gryphon Guild Scrap Book

More photos from the GuildMeet trip to the Portland Japanese Garden. 

There were all the flowers at the zoo! …and this very startled, bizarre looking gopher thing. 

Owls of Guildmeet

You’ll notice I did not let the Sudoku Cheetah Hogger stop me from getting the cheetah photos I wanted. Also, Boris, the Amur leopard (I recognize his spot pattern, hahaha *geek*). He gave me some good poses even if the lighting was awful. And bobcats! They were particularly active when we got to their habitat, as they’d just been tossed some habitat enrichment treats. However, I didn’t manage to get close enough for photos until they’d climbed back up to their platform, which is where they generally like to hang out. But I did see them grooming each other, awww!! ireneburd got better shots of them.

Also lazy sun bear.

Certainly not siraphan

ireneburd is taking a photo of a dew-laden spiderweb, while siraphan, lost in nostalgia beneath the momiji, thinks of Japan. Most of my photos of the Japanese Garden are of the Natural Garden, because it’s my favorite (and least accessible hahaha ha ha) of the gardens, but also, I love the koi! I tried to take pictures of the goldies in the Natural Garden but they didn’t come out.

A selection of roses for paintybug :D
