The vegetation is very well tended, but always looks naturally luxuriant.

July in the Portland Japanese Garden (1)

On July 10 my wife and I walked up to the Portland Japanese Garden, to take advantage of one of their early morning members-only admissions. It was a beautiful morning, and I took lots of pictures. I'll be posting them for the next few days.

Three recent photos from my wanderings around Portland, random but unified by various shades and proportions of orange along with many other colors.
