Portland Japanese Garden in Spring
If you’re ever in the Portland, Oregon area in the springtime, this place is a must-see. Enormous, magnificent, and brilliantly conceived and tended, it just knocked my socks off. Rain or shine, a scenic wonderland. Please see Free Photos “next door” (link below the header above) for more from that locale. You can search there for Japanese garden if that series is no longer at the top.
I love this photo and have called it my Best Post of the Week.
Visit Pink Saturday, Shadow Shot Sunday, Scenic Sunday, Today’s Flowers, Outdoor Wednesday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Ruby Tuesday, Weekend Reflections, and Watery Wednesday for more intriguing photos. Browse around here first, perhaps by visiting the category for “Weekend Reflections”? Remember, always see the latest photos here by clicking on the Sara’s Fave Photos banner.
What a stunning shot…so beautiful!
Enchanting,Sara, just enchanting!
WONDERFUL NONSENSE
A shadow’s a wonderful thing;
O listen! Can you hear it sing?
It tells of a time
Before there was crime—
Trust that and you’ll trust anything!

The garden is quiet and contemplative. So nicely arranged in flora, the quiet pond is a place to really get away from it all. Soft and peaceful, a beautiful scene
Gorgeous shades of greens and reds here!
What a beautiful garden! A peaceful place to enjoy some quiet and meditation. Happy Pink Saturday.
Such a resfull area. If only one could create such a space
in one’s own garden! Wonderful composition!
What a serene spot. Would love to visit someday. Happy Pink Sat.

I haven’t been to the Japanese Gardens in a long, long time. This beautiful shot makes me see that I need to go again soon!!!
That is a wonderful shot! I love the reflection.
I have been to Portland. It is a place filled with beauty. I just did not like all the rain.
What an absolutely beautiful garden.
Honestly, this photo is perfect! All of the photos are great. what a beautiful place. Maybe a trrip to the conservatory in St. Paul is in order. You’ve motivated me.

This would make a great painting! Absolutely beautiful.
I’m very happy you’ve shown us these gardens. I lived just outside of Portland for a few years, and I’m sad that I never made it to visit this beautiful spot. you’ve done it justice with this fabulous photo. it’s dreamy.
