Japanese Garden

On Saturday evening we went to the Japanese Gardens in Portland. Kevin and I are both drawn to the simplicity of the Japanese style and these gardens were so beautiful.

In the brochure it says....When His Excellency Noguo Matsunago, the former Ambassador of Japan to the US, visited the Portland Japanese Garden, he proclaimed it to be the "most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden in the world outside of Japan."

  3. It is amazing to view God's creation, or in this case the creativity that God has given man to arrange His creation! I love the picture of Kevin pointing with the girls looking and the one of the girls in front of the water.
