Portland Japanese Gardens

Today's photo safari took me to the Portland Japanese Gardens. I've been there before but don't mind return after a period of time because I've learned so much in the past year. I toted my trusty big tripod because I knew there was a waterfall in shade to capture. That's not too surprising since you get a waterfall by dropping water off a cliff. I shot again at F22 with a very slow shutter speed and achieved a nice blend of water movement.

Re: Portland Japanese Gardens

What a beautiful pic, Bob! Do you have more pics from there: I do love Japanese gardens. Do they have a bonsai section?

I only have one other of the entrance. The garden isn't very conducive to photography.
