What a beautiful place. Any place that has mountains for a backdrop is gorgeous in my opinion. I can't imagine all those different conifers. It would take you days to see them all. Wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some serious eye candy! I am reminded that there must be many special places across the country unknown to me. Certainly I had never heard of this garden, but I can find inspiration in many of your photos, especially the artful interweaving of grasses, shrubs and perennials. I love the statue of the stag.
ReplyDeleteYes, we had a hard freeze last night, with similar temps expected over the next week. The foliage has been so beautiful, but I am afraid this will do it in. Winter comes!
Absolutely gorgeous!! What a stunning garden. Have fun in Portland. Is that where you're moving?
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic pictures of a fantastic part of this world. A fire work of colours! You're photos make my grey november days sunny and bright. Never have been there so I realy enjoy your post!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy time and all my best from Austria

Agree with Lisa and Deb, what a beautiful place! I haven't been out West since I was a kid but I remember well all of the gorgeous scenery in Utah. I love the contrast of the lust gardens with the green and taupe hills.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are spectacular.
Thanks for adding another item to my bucket list. The photography is stunning.
ReplyDeleteLooks like y'all went at the perfect time! Such gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures of a stunning garden! I hope to visit it one day, thanks to your pictures and commentary.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and so nicely nestled into the landscape!
ReplyDeleteGeez, this is gorgeous. I'm loving all the grasses. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful photos of your travels.
ReplyDeleteWow, and again I say, wow! That is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. I don't know if it's because it's fall, but seriously, it's amazing. I've just put it on my bucket list.
