Going For A Walk

Walking around the city can bring on the unexpected in a wide variety of ways. The pictures on this posting represent one such walk.


The picture above includes the "front yard" of a house which has dozens of potted plants. We stopped to take a picture through the fence when we heard this little voice yell out the window "Mary Jane!" Of course it was one of her students. Grandma came out as well as the student to invite us in to look at the remainder of the flowers. The little student asked where MJ's co-teacher was. They assume if they are together whenever they see them, they must be together on weekends too.


The picture of the school above has one of the more elegant fronts of all the schools in Puyo. The huge class entrance reflects the clouds on this sunny afternoon

From a foothill on the edge of the city, we could look back over Puyo and get a birdseye view. The city is estimated to be around 30,000 people. Although it lies at the junction of two rivers, one can look in most any direction to see the mountains in the distance. Clear days reveal snowcapped peaks.
