The Portland Japanese Garden is a local treasure that deserves a gallery of its own. I became a member shortly after moving here, and visit often. It is a place of peace and beauty in every season and weather. (It tends to be dark and wet in the winter, though, so I have no decent winter photos to share.)
Here are my favorite photos of the Garden from the blogs. Click on any image to browse through the gallery. You can filter by year and/or season by selecting options below. (You can find a gallery of all the Garden photos here.)
