Walk through the Rose Garden and Skinner's Butte Park

My sister Reb, my niece and nephew Anastasia and Zane (respectively) went for a little walk through the Eugene Rose garden today, and walked down the bike path to Skinner's Butte park. It was pretty cold for a March day, especially late in March (it really felt like it was going to snow while we were out there). Its been snowing in the foothills around Eugene, and just a few miles north and south of here in the slightly higher elevations. CRAZY!!

Here is a picture of just one of the 400 varieties of roses they have there:


I've posted the rest of the pictures (and a couple that Anastasia took) in my Picasa web album here .

Another good time!

It kind of looks like a graveyard from those pics! When do the roses bloom?

yeah, I thought of that too, lol. I think they bloom in late spring and all through the summer.
