Green Zen

I go to Portland a lot. Everyone always asks me if I have been to the Japanese Gardens and always say no. Before coming home from this trip Jenn and I made it up to the Japanese Gardens. My respnse is "Whatever took me so long???" It was amazing. They say that it's a year round garden and I don't doubt it. But I must say in Spring it is absolutely gorgeous. And now just a couple of pictures that don't do the gardens justice, but might give an idea of how beautiful it is.
