We returned from our month-long travels to the beautiful changing seasons in Portland. Even though I was tired, and had lots to do (including sifting though 1500 photos from Spain), I had to fit in a couple visits to the Japanese Garden during breaks in the rainy fall weather. The changes in just one week were amazing. Here are some examples:

October 31 was quite a show, but the previous week with the colors emerging from the early morning fog made for a great homecoming just a few days after our return flight. Here are the highlights from those two visits. You can see photos from other seasons and other years in the Japanese Garden Gallery.
