A cloudy day stroll past the Waite Fountain in Willson Park at the west end of the State Capitol grounds. The park was named for William Holden Willson who is known as the founder of Salem. According to the Salem Public Library, he filed the first plat of the city and held the original title to the land that now comprises Willamette University, the State Capitol, and downtown Salem.
The Library has some old photos of the park [here].

Unusual
I spotted this unusual plant growing outside a doctor's office and have no idea what it is. I've never seen branches shaped like this. Anyone know?

On the Streets
I was inspired by Lynette of Portland Daily Photo and shot this through the windshield.
