Forgot I was in Portland....

Erica invited me along to the Japanese Garden in NW Portland and I can honestly say that this garden was so authentic that I felt like I was in Japan all over again! It was amazing! Various rock bridges, waterfalls, Zen rock garden's, statues, and of course the Japanese Maples with their red leaves. I'm seriously considering a yearly pass because this garden naturally enduces a calm feeling, at least for me it did. We brought green tea and enjoyed the view from one of the many benches. I couldn't help myself, I had to take TON of pics. Hope you enjoy them-
