Salem is known as the "Cherry City" as there are a lot of cherry trees planted all around town. On a recent nice day we went down to the capitol mall to see the trees in bloom. Here are some photos.
Here is an interesting fountain on the mall. Apparently it is rarely turned on as lawmakers are afraid someone would drown in it's 12" deep waters. Typical.
Here's Bear in a picturesque spot.

Nice pictures. I got to see lots of cherry blossoms on my recent trip to D.C.
I can't help but wonder if there's a Cherry City Queen, and if she has to be a virgin to qualify for the title.
Is it just me or do others think Oregon's Capitol looks more like a Mormon temple?
