The Wet, Wet Garden
After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

Looks very lush, and lovely fall colors!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to visit--and that you found & enjoyed this free! gem.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a place. It has great views and I love that bench with the wisteria (?) hanging over it. Great picture of the weary travelers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Isn't it sad folks had rather go to a noisy amuzement park than a beautiful garden with history!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those places in Portland that I keep meaning to visit but haven't yet. Your gorgeous pictures are giving me even more reasons to see it!
ReplyDeleteThere are some eye popping fall colors there. I love the views over the water.
ReplyDeleteSo many great photos.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the one half-way down of the bench in deep shade. Do you know what plants are providing that shade?
Nice finale photo of the two tired travelers. Hope you are both well-rested now and recovered from your adventures!
These, and all of your Portland photos, make me want to book a flight now!
