Oregon Sure is Pretty

Some photos from October, 2007. We drove along the Columbia Gorge Scenic Highway to partake in some waterfall watching. The fall foliage was amazing and long-lived this year and we wanted to soak up all its ambiance within a 35-mile range of our home. We were foliage-greedy.




My parents visited us and we insisted that they enfold themselves into the cramped back seat of our car so we could drag them to the Portland Japanese Garden for another foliage-soak. It was worth the claustrophobic drive. This is my favorite garden ever. So peaceful and artistically tended.
