Strolling Along

[AlanLichty]

Another archive shot from a Sunday visit to the Portland Japanese Garden. This part of the Garden is named the Strolling Ponds with a view looking back at the very popular Japanese maple not showing full fall colors yet. Guess I should have saved this for a Wednesday with both wings and a waterfall

C&C always welcome.

What a sweet garden, I am sorry I never went there to visit.

Thanks Ben - I'll keep posting garden images to help make up for that

Thanks so much Alan! When does that maple change to its fall outfit?

Thanks Jim - the maple usually hits peak color around the last week of October/first week of November.

Such a sweet garden, especially in your crowd-less pictures! I was going to go back up there this November, but my friend in Bend is coming here in late Oct. And it's a very long drive from Colorado!

Thanks Monika - your description of attending a recent Maple Jam was entirely alien to my experiences shooting during member hours. I got spoiled.

Thanks Bart - I wish we had this kind of color already. This is an archive shot from mid October in 2011.
